All those military rifles are legal to own in most nations with gun ownership. It is a very relevant example. Or are you advocating now that this only counts if the firearms are side by side shotguns and hunting rifles?
You are very much moving goalposts here and trying to put words and arguments I did not make in my mouth. Its not complicated, your point was no firearms where used to resist a tyrannical government in modern times, a point so completely incorrect as to be laughable.

No, literally no goal posts have ever been moved.
The point was and always has been, that widespread availability of guns does not effectively resist tyranny in the modern era, but does kill numerous people needlessly.
All you have shown, is a couple random example of guns being used to take ineffective pot shots at governments that ultimately crush them. Literally not a single example of people successfully using personal firearms to resist government oppression, let alone at a scale that would justify the thousands and thousands of needless deaths.
You’re just a gun lover blindly trying to justify a reason for owning them when one doesn’t exist.
