What the dumbass doesn’t realize is that a precision bolt action rifle is a much more formidable weapon.

Yeh, he’s an idiot for sure. First, he doesn’t realize that the military, with the exception of a few politico opportuntunists, is overwhelmingly conservative. And, imho it’s doubtful that it would obey orders to fire on civilians who would be their own people, parents, grandparents, other relatives, hometown friends, etc. it’s a non-starter. Secondly, pro and anti gun folks live, work, are commingled almost each other,p. How would it be possible to use nukes, even small tactical nukes without killing everyone in the area? Never happen.

Heck, in a pinch even a used-abused Carcano will deliver the mail. At least until traded up for something an unlucky shlemiel no longer has use for.

Nuclear weapons are rather indiscriminate as to the parts of the population they tend to be used against.

Defenders of the Second Amendment tend to be individuals, and they are highly effective at sniping at the leaders of the suppression. Defenders do NOT mass in one place where they may be conveniently be wiped out at one fell swoop.

Guerrilla warfare is not at all like trench warfare or two armies meeting in a field.

The threat of nuclear warfare has always been far more in the abstract than actuality. There was never a nuclear exchange with Japan in 1945. It was all delivered one-way.
