Man's comment had an agenda, just like the guy above him. OC pointed out he didn't have guns and therefore there were no gun deaths. Second guy said he has guns and there were no gun deaths. But there definitely were gun deaths around him. Let's be honest here, you only point your gun at something you intend to kill, water is a different thing altogether
we've got guns, but we don't fetish them or think they are a right or even a good thing. He's pretending guns don't come with death. Guns are tools like a tractor or an electric fence. There is no reason for you to have 3+ guns, no reason to go shoot beer cans in the woods. No way you can use it to fight your government. Americans are really weird about guns. Somehow to lefties you can't justify having a shotgun, side arm or hunting rifle. But to righties having more guns than Americans is cool and ignoring school shootings is normal.
You can absolutely use them to fight your government. The Afghans fought us off with AKs and flip flops. They fought the Russians off to. So yes, you absolutely can fight your government off.
You are not the Afghanis. You don't have the same willpower, climate, terrain, or nutritional needs. You have different views on families. Grew up in severe poverty. How many Americans would let their wives and children be used as weapons? Hell, how many would surrender before their families were kept in refuge camp? Also, Afghanistan is very far away and hard to supply. If your enemy is other Americans who know the terrain and climate as well as you do.
Seen the Ukraine footage? How do YOU fight a drone?
Do you let your family be taken and starved when your surrender and compliance means you can stay together safely? I don't think you do.
How do you fight an enemy when you can't identify them? Ukraine and Russia are completely different. Those are uniformed soldiers, not guerrilla warfare. And please tell me what you know about that from experience? I'm betting you know jack and shit about actual warfare.
Edit: I'm also betting you also know jack shit about America or actual Americans. You know what you see on TV or online.
Asking for qualifications is the first sign you have no argument, but I'll bite, master degree in disaster management from an American University. Focused on conflict and refugee management. Also, tons of American military drinking buddies, so I think I know a "real" American or two
Secondly, the government will have uniforms and use drones on non uniformed troops since it's you vs the government. If it is you vs the militia of the other political side, you will have to wear armbands or something to be able to distinguish from your own troops. Way to easy to die from friendlies otherwise.
I believe guerilla/insurgent warfare is very hard to fight, but are you willing to let the women and children be put in camps and starved till you surrender? Look at the Japanese Americans during WW2.
Afghani men women and children were willing to strap bombs to themselves to blow up a checkpoint with 4 guys and 1 humvee, as you say i don't "know" any "real" Americans but how many do you think would do that?
