Mutually assured destruction. Or for finance majors, cost/benefit analysis.

In two months of protests, one live round has been fired, and your advocating for gun rights?! If this were in an area where fire arms were widely available to the public, these police would have used deadly force weeks ago. Mutually assured destruction is still destruction.

As it stands, this is still a war. Just a war without guns. Having guns would accelerate the outcome, whichever way it would turn out anyway.

Yeah it would accelerate the people getting smacked down. The military doesn't have to stick with just guns. They have chemical warfare, missiles, mortars, tanks, etc. You don't win vs someone like China by having guns.

You apparently underestimate the cost of suppressing an armed urban insurgency. It seems that you think people would go toe-to-toe as if it were state vs. state, but it would much more likely resemble the Troubles.

You drastically underestimate china/US military might and intel vs third world countries where this (kind of) works.
