no, i dont think. civilians handling any firearms is a hobby. The government will always have enough stupid teenagers to murder anyone who opposes them, if they really want to (a la russia). The concept of a ‘militia’ could possibly be effective, but I would expect that to be organized, not 19 year olds buying assault rifles. since the one and only purpose of a firearm is death (or, if you wish to split hairs, the threat of death), it means the hobby, firearms, is actually the hobby, death.
BTW, Afghanistan, Iraq, and Vietnam demonstrate that a sufficiently motivated populace is fully able to resist a tyrannical gov’t.
really? so the taliban didn’t just immediately take over?
Or did you mean the US was the tyrannical government and the taliban are the liberators? cause if so, could you do me a favor and call 1-800-CALLFBI. You will get to the people you need to reach. Also, if you chose this branch of the message, I wanted to add a personal note: fuck you.
death is not a hobby
That’s a bit of a non sequiter, don’t you think? Can you show me where I said that death was a hobby?

thank you for coming to my ted talk.
You could have stopped with, “no, I don’t think”.

Who do you think the sufficiently motivated populace was? Are you intentionally being dense?
