Ah, but even semi-armed insurgents can cause massive casualties.

To argue that guns in the hands of many cannot affect a modern government military is a farce.

Had Europeans had as many guns as their American counterparts would Hitler have conquered Europe?

Making pithy statements is easy. Try putting some thoughts into your answers.

Um...yes. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invasion_of_Poland http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_invasion_of_Denmark_(194... The number of privately owned guns had absolutely nothing to do with it.

My comment was an example of a pithy statment that did not have any deep thought or research. I was making a counter example.
