    Insurgent forces are always scary. They know where to hide and they get creative with weaponry. This isn’t the revolutionary war with people marching side by side taking shots at the other side.

    Besides, that’s assuming the military is 100% cohesive in war operations inside this country and against other Americans.

    Oh, and ignoring that it might just be the conservatives in power that would be the aggressor and the rest defending themselves from fascists.

      Your last point is the one that gets me, the left needs firearms as much as the right does if shit hits the fan.

        Amen to that.

        In my country (France) we got single payer healthcare, legally enforced number of work hours in a week, annual PTO, etc because about 25% of the population were card carrying commies with guns.
