Lets discuss the difference between cultures about guns

Indeed, and yet the Zapatistas, Naaxalites,  YPG/YPJ, Yazidi militias, ELN, Nepalese Maoists, Sendero Luminoso to name the first to mind have done just that.  

Even more 'bonkers...'  Mao arming the Red Guards to rise against elements of his own government/military.  

I was saying in the context of taking on the US military, but fair point well made!

The thing is those groups could argue that they're actually facing oppression by the government. A fat septic whinning about laws designed to stop innocent people from dieing isn't

Please!  These poor folk have paedophiles in pizza joints and reptiles running the country.  No wonder they're jolly cross.  ?

Orwell reckoned that the last democratic weapon was the bolt action rifle.  He died before the AK was born.  Not that the Pashtun needed auto to slot invaders... 

For context, the Bill of Rights upon which the 2A is based was written after the people had risen and overthrown the govt.  They needed to ensure that they could do so again, especially as the Guild of Masters had been supressed in the previous century, and a lot of martial knowledge monopolised by the state as had been.   Technology has changed in the last 400 years.  Ideas about democracy/polity/representation/balance of powers have hardly moved on for 2500 years, certainly since the 1780's.

It helps when you're magdumping AKs straight up in the air, en masse, which the Austere Religious Scholars apparently use for anti-air defence. Not even trying to aim or lead, just putting as much lead in the air as possible and letting aircraft fly through it.

The camera footage in the documentary Apache Warrior confirms how hairy it can get when everybody and their mum has an AK and ammo is cheap and plentiful.
