Guns for law-abiding people are probably not bad

I think it's a little bit odd when people tell me that they need weapons because the government could become tyrannical and use the army on the people.

What are you going to do with your small weapon when they send in the tanks ? They have drones and planes. I doubt the people would win.

The best argument to carry weapons is to use the weapon in self defense towards a criminal.

Have you played battlefield ? You might be a soldier running around with a weapon but the tanks will blow you up and you can't hurt them back.

And every dictatorship and Communist nation’s first order of business was to take the guns. The second order of business was to take everything else. It’s so easy to do when your soldiers know they can kill and rape without any reprisal from a populace that has been disarmed.

@stratosranger I understand that it's harder to rule people when they have their own weapons , but it looks like the only difference would be that it would take more effort to beat the people. But the winner would still be the state.

Maybe. But I’d just as soon as go with the option of fighting till my last breath and burning it all down so they get nothing versus being a slave. @Sinful
