      To be fair, the fighting would be guerilla warfare which the us hasn’t been that great at dealing with.

      It’s still good enough to shoot people who accidentally step on your lawn, or the teachers and co-students you had a disagreement with.

      When a group of American freedom fighters go to take over a U.S.A. military base and hesitant soldiers aren’t sure if they should follow a traitorous president or their oath to the Constitution, the American freedom fighters being well-armed will make the difference.

      And that’s why they didn’t bother with guns in Iraq. Defeating the Americans was hopeless; mission accomplished.

        This response is so weird I can’t quite tell what your point is. Are you suggesting that the Iraqis resisted with small arms fire? Because that’s not the case.

        More US citizens die each year in the US from guns than US soldiers died in the entirety of the Iraq war. And it’s not a small difference either - each year 4-5x as many citizens die from gun violence. Not including suicides (which would more than double the number)

        So was your post trying to say the small arms resistance in Iraq was effective?

      We could probably mount a pretty decent resistance with what we have available. look what happened in iraq during the occupation. insurgency would be the way to go in a rebellion against the us govt.
