I would argue its not just the guns but also America's sense of self, the patriotism in the USA, the right to buy and have a home, wave your American flag, also Hugely Important the Right to FREE SPEECH. There are a shit ton of countries which have high rates of gun ownership Serbia, Iraq, Yemen, Ukraine, Saudi Arabia, Uruguay and they are still shitholes....if a battle fight or war ever does break out.... lets hope not but when you face a government with Tanks, F-16s, cruise missiles, MIGs, Battleships, satelites, there is only so much your firearm could do, eventually the tyrant dictator government could win over any armed populace. There are also a shit ton of countries where guns are BANNED and they are also violent shitholes, Jamaica, Lebanon, East Timor, Iran, parts of Africa etc I think what makes America unique is its culture, the US Constitution and its right to free speech as well as its right to bear arms. I have a feeling most moslem or african nations would be shitholes regardless of the right to bear arms or not.

1) Look at Iraq and Afghanistan. They're a bunch of gorillas going against tanks, fighter jets, the whole 9. Yet, they are holding their own. Look at Vietnam. Gorilla tactics can get you pretty damn far.
2) The American people far, far out number the military. Yes, the military can destroy us all with drones, but they will literally destroy the entire country, infrastructure and all, in order to do so.
3) If for some reason a revolution broke out, the military is on OUR side. At least for now. If the generals weren't on our side, I'd still wager the overwhelming majority would be.
Basically, as long as the average American can own firearms, I think we stand a pretty good chance to fight a revolution, heaven forbid, it ever comes to that.

Since the goverment treats us this bad while we have millions of guns, imagine how they will treat us once we are declawed?

Some guy a work was whining about facebook postings, after a bunch of posts, I said, "Are you on NPCbook?", he says, "NPC, what's NPC?", I said, "if you don't know what an NPC is then you are one", I turn away and continue working, he replies, "Im an NPC."

And remember - 45 has openly suggested ignoring the 4th to take away your 2nd. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2018/02/28/trump-says-take-guns-first-and-worry-due-process-second-white-house-gun-meeting/381145002/

The 2nd amendment is the ONLY thing standing between us and a NWO. We are not only fighting for the U.S., we are fighting to free the whole world, we are the last firewall.

Well, they all are important, but if you had to pick one, it's the 2nd.
[–] CaptnObvius 0 points 2 points 2 points (+2|-0) ago
They all work together in concert, not sure if any one is more important than the other.

Sad to see how neutered the 2nd amendment has become... there once was a time when you could walk into a regular old hardware store, buy a brand new 45 Thompson over the counter and go home with it.
It won't be much longer until they push for complete gun control and we're defenseless.
[–] CaptnObvius 0 points 3 points 3 points (+3|-0) ago
That's why we're pushing back now. We're at a tipping point, freedom or tyranny.

Laws only work by consent of the governed, i.e., the law-abiding. If the law-abiding stop doing so there is no military/police operation large enough to disarm the USA. And, they know it.

Not if we beat the shit out of them in this midterm election. It will be at least six more years before they can do anything at all (because we all know Trump is going to win a second term).
