General posession of fire arms is illegal in Afghanistan. Do you know otherwise? I know Mexico and Guatemala I think have a right to bear arms in their Constitution.

Also, can't think it would have been legal during the Soviet occupation. Presumalby we should then ban the guns here as well if we are to follow the model then?

Or, if we don't then I want an ammendment to let me have Stinger missles. Pretty sure just semmiautmatics and pistols wasn't quite enough to shoot down military helicopters and blow up whole convoys between mountain passes.

I am sorry, I have no clue about Afghani law. I just gave an example of militia, armed basically with rifles and improvised weapons, successfully defending against not one but two modern military forces.

Also, from the history of recent internal conflicts (e.g Ukraine) a militia fighting its own government can obtain and use tanks and artillery quite easily as there are plenty of people on the both sides who are trained to use such equipment.
