exactly, tyranny or the threat of it is a big reason we should arm ourselves. no, my pistol isnt goin to defeat the united states army lol, but what about a few million armed people spread throughout the country?? its hard to imagine a scenario where the government would actually attack the country at large and even harder to imagine actually defeating the united states military given that scenario, but i will be damned if i wouldnt try.
look at what happens around the world. i think it was the phillipines where the new president or something back in the day took over and demanded the citizens disarm themselves. governments get violent with their citizens all the time.
its like bein in prison. your first day there big bubba comes over and takes your fruit cup at lunch. he is 7 foot, 400 pounds of muscle but you fight bubba anyways because if not you are sending the message that anyone can do whatever they want to you. the next guy might not wanna go through the trouble of fighting you to get that fruit cup so maybe he will get it from someone else. its like that way with guns, jut because my handgun cant defeat a battle tank doesnt mean i shouldnt try, and in the event of a government attack theres no reason for anyone to just roll over and wave the white flag.
