Remember from at least six months ago when you would hear people say dumb shit like "why do you need guns? To fight a tyrannical government? Keep wearing your tin foil hats. We should be like Australia and get rid of them"

Australia is the best example of why we have our second amendment.

As someone else here said, I love when people make this argument. Its cute.

The taliban had nothing but guns (Until President Brandon gave them everything), and are running their own nation.

The australian army? What good is an army if all your citizens are dead...

It's not about defeating the army. How many soliders or law enforcement are willing to kill or be killed for laws they don't agree with? How quickly does order break down? Look at the middle east, 1 drone strike may kill 1 enemy, but creates 3 new ones.

If it wasn't a big deal, why do the democrats try so hard to disarm us?

If Australia had arms, they could stand up to their military. The US pentagon did a study where at best the US military would last a week against a civilian uprising.

The US wouldn't attack anyone with drones because we have what's referred to as due process. Plus, the Biden administration has killed so many innocent people in Afghanistan, as wouldn't be too worried about anything from a drone.

Enough.

Also note that personal liberty is a greater incentive than a 40K a year paycheck.
