That's not the free market at all.

Yeah... riiight. You think everyone in business is a Scrooge or a Mr. Potter from It's a Wonderful Life? Well, they're not. There are plenty of decent people in business. The problem is when big government gets involved.

As far as the police goes, I never said there should be no government at all, just limited government, especially at the federal level. The best government is at the local level... where the people can keep a better eye on it.

So the US has roughly 2M active or reserve military. Let’s assume 25% would fight against a regime worthy of revolution.( I think it would be much higher). You don’t think the 50 Million Americans owning 200 million guns could mount a meaningful resistance? You’re insane. You’re also insane to think they would just start nuking civilians. Lucky for you soft ass libtards there are plenty of red blooded Americans buying guns and learning to use them. One day they will probably save you and your family.

civilians aren't allowed to own weapons that can harm armored vehicles.

I'm not a commie, but the fastest way to improve a preindustrial nation is industrialisation and modernisation of infrastructure through communism, then once modernised switching to capitalism.

You can make the same claim about the Taliban in Afghanistan (lesser technology/weapons vs. a superiorly-equipped force).

They also live in caves. In the absolute most remote regions of the country.

If you want to go live in a cave in Montana, have fun. Maybe your guns will help you a little, but I'm still skeptical.

Meanwhile 99.9% of America will be controlled by the evil regime with tanks.

Again, the 2nd amendment does not protect your freedom: a stable democracy does.
You should know that a tank REQUIRES a supporting group of soldiers on the ground or else it's a sitting duck.

People think tanks are all-powerful.

It's considered suicide to take a tank alone out in the battlefield.

I'm sorry, but again, you are wrong.

An armed populace presents a HUGE problem for a modern military, even ours.

If the US government is bombing civilian populations, then the international community will support the citizens and they will be much more motivated to by the fact that there are 300+ million firearms already in our possession.

I love how this meme was originally about Communism, but some butt hurt Leftist felt the need to reverse the scenario, which totally ruined the joke.

The Taliban didn't have any tanks.

How'd that work out, military commander?
