    Anyone who thinks their AR-15 ga going to let them take on a tyrannical government has no understanding of how tanks work.

        IFVs exist for this exact purpose and they typically have minimum 1 per tank if not 2.

        You ain’t gonna get very far when theres a 25mm auto cannon spraying and praying in your general direction.

        Plus the coaxial 7.62 MGs

        Plus the hull mounted M2 .50 cal MGs.

        Why do you think separatists and resistance movements have to rely on IEDs and forcing fights in urban environments with a metric ton of cover available?

        Why do you think they get steamrolled by mechanized armored units like almost every time that forces them into guerilla fighting tactics like digging tunnels and using mountainous terrain?

          I think you’re missing the spirit of their comment. They are not saying they get out of the tank right then, they are saying eventually everyone has get out of the tank and go back to their home and if your neighbors aren’t happy with you and are well armed… good luck.

        Sure, but they will get in that tank inside a well fortified base protected by helecopters with door mounted mini guns and Hellfire missiles, go out and kill people with piddly little AR-15s at an industrial scale, then return to their well fortified bases for afternoon tea.

        The second ammendment was wirten back when the people and the government had the same weapons. That isn’t the case anymore. If you take on the government, you die. If 100,000 of you take on the government most of you die. Unless you can get a sizeable portion of the peopulation out from in front of Keeping Up with the Kardashains and into the street to protest you’re a pedofascist dictatorship for the forseeable future.
