    Is it worth the amount of problems that guns brings to a country in exchange for a chance of a shooting competition against an M1 Abrams?

      I believe it’s fundamentally important that we keep that right to an equalizing force.

      Acting like we are going to directly fight a tank with an AR-15 is either a straw man or just frankly ignorant. The US military has repeatedly been repelled by guerrilla forces with small arms, and if you have been paying any attention at all in Ukraine you will see what can be done with very little technology in terms of drones etc.

        You don’t understand what happened in Vietnam or Afghanistan. At all.

        If you think those guys truly defeated the US and that you with your rifle are going to do the same… I don’t even know if there’s is a point explaining it.
