Comment on It's interesting that gun rights were sold on the basis of "resisting unlawful government." They seen to have caused unlawful government.
basically
Yeah, its never happened.
Yeah, did you read the examples you gave?
Your literal only modern example is a case in Fiji, an island with a population the size of Nashville, Tennessee, and army of 6,500 people.
And the coup was only successful because the special forces unit of the army that was run by a former SAS commander joined them and armed them.
IRA does not count? Really? The dropping of small arms for resistance fighters? Come on, you are getting as selective as you are wrong.
You’re referring to the Provisional IRA? Tell me how successful they were in their goals of ending British rule in Northern Ireland.
Personal firearms have basically never been used to resist government tyranny in the US or entire rest of the developed world in modern times.
Please show us where success was required in the request?
