Fine over 200 years ago but
There are a lot of guys and gals out there that envision themselves as patriots and have a “from my cold, dead hands” attitude about gun ownership. But I don’t suffer any delusions about their chances as a revolutionary. There are a lot of fantasies tossed around about “taking America back” by force… Please. An armed revolution against the established government may have been an option in days gone by, and may still be in some less-developed countries. But, America is a superpower. In these days of laser-guided bombs and drone strikes, it’s hard to imagine a populace, even armed, standing much of a chance in an uprising against the military complex. In that awful scenario, it’s not going to be about magazine capacity and semi-auto vs bolt-action; it’s going to be about guerrilla warfare and sabotage. It doesn’t matter how many thousands of rounds of ammo you have stockpiled, if the military wants to get rid of you and your supply of weapons, they’re not going to get into a firefight and see who runs out of ammo first; they’re just going to make you a smoking crater, and you will never know what hit you.
