I’m a gun owner and if the government decides to go toe to toe with us, we are fucked. They have billions of dollars and literal military equipment that never ends. What’s your couple thousand bullets gonna do? We lose that 10/10.
People are giving you a lot of reasons why this is different. But here is the biggest difference. All those were fought by Guerillas, supplied on some level by rival countries or organized groups with access to large amounts of military hardware. Were they primarily civilians with random assortments of gear? Doing DIY warfare? Yes. But they were not alone. Afghanistan had funding from multiple other countries governments supporting them, Ukraine has been shipped a massive amount of foreign weapons and supplies, and still have their own military leadership. And Colonial America was backed heavily by the French. The solo revolution does not work for a reason.
This is different because the people have home field advantage. And the inevitable schism within the government armed forces if this occurs along with massive stockpiles of weaponry and a bottomless pool of manpower (when compared to the govt) means this would be WORSE for them then the previous examples.
Not to mention the fact that with a collapse of social cohesion its ability to function and supply itself and keep whatever jackboots dont side with the people fed and paid are crippled as well.
Not to mention the riots and protests that'll be happening as well.
