So you're saying you'll take the gas chamber or firing squad?

Is that what I said?

First of all these hypotheticals will not be seen by any of us so let's not take it too seriously.

But Pond isn't talking about pockets.Pond is specifically saying a sizeable amount of civilians in a civil war. I'd be happy to address ground troops overpowering gorilla forces as well. First of all most of them are stupid enough that their electronic footprint would have them monitored and targeted before they even got off the ground. Any such uprising would be so far behind technologically they don't stand a chance. These historical examples they want t bring up consist of people fighting with sticks and stones basically.

Oh I dunno, a bunch of high school kids defeated the Ruskies and the Cubans when they invaded the US in 1984 in Red Dawn.  Smiley   "Wolverines!"

Actually, that's a very big part of it. The sizeable amount of civilians would be spread throughout the country in pockets and mixed in with everyone else.

Yeah, how did Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan work out? Or maybe any of the other numerous civil wars we've gotten involved in for no reason? Maybe if something did happen here, maybe some other countries would get involved.

No, you haven't said anything because you refuse to answer a simple question. Sounds like you're the one taking it too serious.

Tell that to all the other countries that have been in endless civil wars.
Those countries don't have (BY FAR) the largest and most powerful military in the world.

Can you even name a single nuclear power that has had the government overthrown by armed civilians?  I can't.

Hypothetically, If the US government went down the path of one of the aforementioned evil countries, what would you do? Would people just get in line to the gas chamber or firing squad? Would you?
Well, when a society goes down the road of one of those evil countries, the first thing that happens is thunderous applause from the citizens.  I keep citing this example and no one ever seems to address it, but when jackbooted government thugs came to snatch lawful Japanese-American citizens out of their homes, other Americans were clapping and cheering.  And in that situation, your choice is not whether or not you voluntarily get in line to the gas chamber... it's whether you get to see your wife and children gunned down, killed in an explosion, or burned to death after you fire on the law enforcement that has come to haul you off to the camps.

And this is not some far-bygone history of ancient depravity.  It was only a few years ago that when people would come to our border to legally apply for asylum in accordance with lawful international treaties, our government would steal their children and then deport them.  Again, this was met with wild applause from half the country.

So I have very little interest in these hypotheticals about uprising against evil tyrants.  When evil tyrants arrive, at least half of the country will be feverishly cheering them on, and anyone foolish enough to raise a handgun in opposition will be reviled as terrorists, as they are utterly wiped out with the full force of the state.

Hopeful for foreign interference against your own country, I love the patriotism of the new conservatives.

As f3answering your question I'll spell it out since your only point in any conversation is, "why won3you answer my question that isn't a point you were makin3anyway."

#1 your hypothetical will never happen but if it  did I would not just jump in li e for a gas chamber.
#2 I  recognize whatever choice of actions I took, trying to defeat the modern United StTes military would not end in victory for my side.

I'm not going to fix my typos.  In a dark bar on my phone.
