What could an unarmed USA do if their government became tyrannical?

Link?

Most Americans are too dumb and lazy to do anything armed or unarmed. 

When the US government turns it tanks, missiles, battleships, planes, and drones against you, does it make a diffrence if you have a horde of pistols, rifles and shotguns?  You might make them mad, but that is about it.

The context in which you are liberally using regarding the founding fathers is severely misguided.

you mean you don't think the citizens armed with pistols and assault rifles would be a good match for the US government with its $680 billion annual military budget?  at least for a few minutes?

i don't understand.  are you saying if the government passes laws to restrict guns, no one is going to enforce them and law enforcement will turn against our government?

Yes, clearly the might of the US military would almost instantly crush any kind of resistance force made up of dedicated individuals willing to die for their cause.

On a completely unrelated topic: how long has the US military been in the Middle East trying to put an end to their enemies there?  Surely with all those “tanks, missiles, battleships, planes, and drones” it wasn’t long at all, right?

 

Here's how I see it.

Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826), US Founding Father, drafted the Declaration of Independence, 3rd US President

November 13, 1787, letter to William S. Smith, quoted in Padover's Jefferson On Democracy, ed., 1939 https://books.google.com/books?id=imMmIlv1G7MC&pg=PA268&q=&f=false#v=onepage&q=&f=false

Arms, Death, Despotism, God, Guns, Liberty, Militia, Patriotism, President, Rebellion, Resistance,

they figure there would be a revision to the drafted declaration every 10-20 years. which would be settled by a war.

its been widely noted on PBS documentaries.

I saw nothing in those posts that led me to believe the Founding Fathers thought a full blown American revolution was going to happen every ten years.  But hey, that’s just me.

hell yes it does!

missles can cost millions of dollars---bullets a few bucks----Id rather get taken out by a million dollars than a few-----and----at least we have some sort of strategic chance to take out drones--

in addition----the human mind can only bare so much evil carnage----add that up with the increased risk of their own death because of our weapons----they would be more likely to do the right thing.

I'd rather have something then nothing----I hope you see the fault in your logic----however I do understand what you say----but trust me, we have a 10000 better chance with armed citizens than without-----and remember, the government is only as strong as the people in the military willing to carry out their orders----if there is a chance they may be killed, there is an increased chance they won't listen.

Remember, Germany had tanks during the 1940's------but if they had to fight millions of Jewish  people with so much as a pistol, many who died would have lived.

from my research i would say the founding fathers believed the tyranny they faced would never be forgotten, but in case it was, they were sure to record their feelings on why they made the laws they did--

good post---agree very much so-----

I'd like to add 2 things to it that would make it perfect

1:----The Twin Towers were designed SPECIFICALLY!!!!  to withstand MULTIPLE COMMERCIAL AIRCRAFTS FLYING INTO IT
2:-----The Empire state building was once hit by an airplane----not even close to tumbling.

Exactly.

 Ravens

Ahh but pitchforks and razor blades could turn the tide.

yeah for sure----

except----why did Bulding 7 fall in 7 seconds---no plane hit it?
