And why the hell do you think revolutionaries will be facing the army in open honorable combat? And what’s wrong with doing the fighting in urban areas and digging tunnels?

Sure, an AR-15 won’t take down a tank. But if you’re even asking if they can, you fundamentally misunderstand how revolutions and insurgencies work.

Nothing, i’m just saying that most people don’t understand this and don’t know that their individual skills with a firearm just won’t matter much if you don’t organize into a proper group with modern vehicles at your disposable.

Point is, if you wanna go down the route of “I need 2A for an oppressive government”, you’ll quickly find yourself getting into the same situation as everyone else. Unless you form a side via a civil war, you’re gonna suffer heavy losses in the initial stage just like everyone else, and commit to long term attrition just like everyone else.

Not saying it’s a bad idea in any way, but there’s a significant portion of the American community that I could not imagine being able to walk 10k despite stockpiling a platoon’s worth of ammo.
