    This is the most ignorant shit. The AR-15 doesn’t stop a tank. It’s not supposed to stop a tank. When people are armed and everywhere, they can attack logistics everywhere. They can cut off fuel supply to that tank. They can prevent the crew from exciting that tank. They can take out the infantry that is supporting that tank and then plant a bomb on that blind-ass rolling bunker. Small arms are still enormously important in warfare and all you’re proving is that you know absolutely nothing about warfare.

      This is exactly what HAMAS is doing in Palestine against the IOF.

      You’re right. Small arms still have a role to play, even if it doesn’t seem like it at first glance.

      Do you think the army that sends the tank does not kow how to create and defend a defend a supply line? Or that a single tank “guarded” by a few infanterists will come alone to be taken out by a bunch of rednecks with their toy guns? And good luck with planting your bomb on that " blind-ass rolling bunker". That was not that easy even in WWII. Nobody in their right mind will try that with a charge that actually might pierce a tank and your home made fire cracker is much more likely to blow you to bits than anything else. You won’t even come close enough to a tank to even think about attaching anything to it, anyway. They’re not meant to stand around as targets for high-school ninjas, they move. That’s their one and only purpose - to keep the front line moving and to avoid frozen lines like in WWI. And. believe me, if a couple of tanks are moving somewhere near to you, you’ll run for your life,. Not even an antitank missile will be of any use to you on short distance,

      You’re definitely not wrong. I’ll be the first to admit I don’t know about warfare. Hopefully I never have to truly find out.

      I just mean government has drones and tanks and other super firepower that a normal citizen doesn’t have, but when the 2nd amendment was written, we were on a bit more of even footing.

      Because of that, I would rather have more bans and restrictions to prevent American gun violence.

      If we were still in more even footing, I would be much more hesitant to place restrictions.

      Yeah these dumb fucks are the same people who were saying “there’s no way we can lose to a bunch of peasants in black pajamas” in the 1960s. Or who were saying the regime couldn’t lose in România in the early 90s.
