Vietnam/Afghanistan/Iraq all would like a word.
Also every time a peoples government turns on them, the people are disarmed prior. This is a continuous event in history.
You also have a very closed minded view of how a revolution works. For whatever reason you seem to think it'll be the 14 gravy seals fighting...it won't be. It'll be gorilla warfare and it'll be bloody and violent. If we couldn't control countries that don't even look or speak like us, how do you think it'll work out when people who look like you and speak like you are your targets. You also have a large portion of the ground troops who are straight up 2A supporters and wouldn't be the ones siding with the gov.
This is all hypothetical anyways, as it's gotta take a lot more than talk to happen. People need to be hungry, jobless, homeless and not have a ton left to live for. So long as their money still spends at McDonald's and their iPhones power on. Nothing is going to happen.
Downvotes don't do anything on Lemmy...lol
You're getting downvoted and to be honest I'm not sure where you stand on the issue, but you are spitting truth about what it takes to take up arms against your own countrymen.
Most people don't understand the level it takes to get to a civil war, and once you do reach that level, it's not going to turn out like how anyone thinks it will.
