I have no doubt that small arms are efficacious against a handful of oppressors, but realistically if you can't reload faster than a machinegun or penetrate a tank, the attempt may be brave and valiant but will ultimately be futile. Even so, no one should have any problems with personal arms since they are a very efficacious self-defense against criminals.

Everybody has to go to the head sometime in the field, guerilla warfare, and everybody learned from the Poles not to go against a tank by hand. You need some military history/tactics instead of the humanist/socialist courses you obviously took in college.

You are sorely misinformed. Re-read my post number 135 and think logistics, resupply, etc.

Well, compared to the 80,000,000 armed citizens, the JBT are a handful of oppressors. Now, just assume that not all 80,000,000 million are willing to actively participate. How about 10%? how about if just 1% decided they were fed up? Many of the others would be willing to help simply by giving info.

They collectively know who the oppressors are and where they live and work. The oppressors don't have the same info. After how many guerilla hits do you think they may have their minds changed, 100, 1000, 10,000? Their troops will be demoralized with each elimination while the other side will energized.

Not everyone targetted will be LEO and armed. Sarah Brady and her cohorts would be on the list. Every liberal weenie who ever attacked any freedom would make the list. Sure, someone like Schumer may have protection, but not all his aides do. Those are soft targets that get a message out.

You don't really believe that people who are willing to fight for their rights are going to bring a shotgun and start shooting at SWAT teams. No. The SWAT guys will be taken care of as they get lunch or drive carpool or go out to dinner.

Did you know that there are groups of people who have sworn to take out at least two of them when the SHTF? If I were you, I'd start thinking about which side I want to be on.
