Old Baldy, I strongly disagree with a few of the historical facts you mentioned earlier... There is particularly one historical "fact" you mentioned that hits the spot with me, but I'm not gonna go over it.....
It's going to sound like I'm repeating myself from the previous post. Let's say there is a group of people in power in a given country, and you don't like the way they run your country. You want to organise a resistance against them to protect what you view as your human rights, I presume most of us are pro-human rights and we sympathise with your strugle....
The government would very quickly label you as terrorist and deploy its means of defense to hunt you down. The UN, NATO, etc organisations would also pass a few legislations to support the government in question and cut all your possible income from the outside....
Now, give me an example of how you can protect yourself against the above scenario with firearms in the modern world....
For example, let's look at Iraq. Iraq has/had millions of weapons in its arsenal, and probably every house has an AK47 as a self-defense. Some sections of the Iraqi community were anti-US and tried to fight back. Although, they have extremely high number of AK47, we all know they are no match to the US forces.... If you want we can expand this example to the Saddam era.... Some sections of the Iraqi community viewed Saddam as a dictator and a tyrant, and they had AK47 at home but the organised army of Saddam still managed to kill thousands of civilians.
