it is completely irrelevant today, and since trump attacks the 14th, the 2nd will be fair game the next few years.

How come we haven't won in Afganistan yet, How come we lost in Viet Nam. A guerrilla force is very very hard to defeat.

There are almost 400 million privately own guns in the U.S. and over 100 million gun owners. It is estimated that these gun owners have over 1 trillion rounds of ammunition on hand at any time.

The military has about 1.8 - 2.5 million soldiers at any one time. If god forbid, a civil war ever broke out, I am sure not all soldiers would back a tyrannical government. They are people just like you and me.

It would not be as easy as people think for the government to put down a full revolt in the U.S.

No one is revolting ok, aint happening, remember Waco? oh you were likely not born yet... complete idiotic thinking they need a gun to protect from the government.... btw, Afghanistan would not be the effed up mess it is if it DID NOT have so many weapons in the hands of so many...NO they are NOT like you and me.,... get a freaking grip THIS IS NOT Afghanistan, despite the efforts of the NRA.... give it a rest, stop with the stupid already.

Back in the 1860s.

Funny thing, real backwoods hillbillies who used guns on a routine basis for something other than shooting beer cans off of an old fencepost while waiting for their turn to peg Cousin Sue Ellen Delma May at this month's family reunion/procreation shindig weren't able to stop them damn Yankees during the War of Northern Aggression.
But they'll probably be able to do so now because they've been practicing on their Xbox and they got a pile of AR-15s and an ATV for muddin and they love that elitist carpetbagger from the Big City up North and he needs their help so that he and everyone he knows won't go to prison.

It's like you hardonshit, you are weak. Like when a tyrannical gov't takes your ability to defend yourself. Just like in your real life. But IF you could acquire/maintain strength, you could stop cuddling that bloody teddy bear. Guns = clean teddy bear and a nice tight bung.

And assuming this is the correct interpretation this means we have the right to form militias not have whatever weapon we want lying around our home.

The idea that a bunch of obese Americans fed on a diet of Kardashians, John Wayne, hatred of foreigners and live in outrage over one man kneeling could somehow with a few guns overthrow the US government is frankly laughable.

Where US police forces have more armour than most country's militaries, the uprising would be over in days.

The reason the American revolution was successful wasn't because of plucky Brits in the US with a few guns, it was because the British were involved in a major world conflict with the American rebellion being a side show and the French provided military assistance, arms and money to those in North America.

When it came to another way in 1812 in which the Americans started with the British Empire they were crushed and the White House was burnt down for good measure. (Hence the name)
