How people in other countries see the American gun issue

I am from a small country in the Balkans and have lived in America for 5 years. I am not an anti-gun person, but this is my take on what I think. I promise I am not here to bash or insult or make anyone angry with this post. View it as how you want. <br><br>The thing that bothers me is that so many people talk about “defending yourself from tyranny”? Do you mean that the government is just going to send 1 or 2 guys with a rifle to take you down? Or do you mean an all out war? Because if it is the second one, then good luck with that. I am sure that no matter how many guns you have, a drone strike from 10,000 feet in the air will take you out. Not to mention that people delude themselves that they would even be able to take on a trained solder with a gun. I am sure in the beginning there would be taking of gun fights, but the government would just make it illegal to have people outside of their house and you couldn’t do anything about it. You couldn’t fight their tanks and drones with your ak47, ar15, hand guns, willie peter, etc. I guarantee that if the government was truly tyrannical, then they would just send a jet or drone and bomb the shit out of your neighborhood. Your best option would be to go underground, but their instruments are so good that I wonder if they couldn’t even track you there. <br><br>I think that the best you could do if the government went tyrannical, is go underground and have a 1 man war with guerrilla warfare, trying to disrupt the governments logistics. But I wonder how long that could last for, because like said before, they would just sent a drone or a plane and fuck your whole area. Unless you had a whole neighborhood on your side, then I could see trying to fight back, but I am not sure how that would even go. Especially if you couldn’t leave your house because “you are dangerous”. I think the best you could do is get your whole neighborhood to fight, but then if the government really wanted to, they could just say “fuck it” and bomb the whole area to nothing. All in all, I don’t see this “defend yourself from tyranny” in the 21st century to be possible. If you lived in Afghanistan or Iraq, maybe, but not in America. <br><br>Also I wonder how many people have thought this out and actually thought “what will I do when the government comes at me with tanks, jets, and drones?”. <br><br>This is my take<br><br>Edit: let me explain how me and people in my country look at war. The most recent thing in our memory was a civil war that lasted from 92-01. 3 years before I was born and 8 years after, which for most of you is basically your entire life! So for us, the thought of war is not.Apie shit that we think will never happen, but something we know can happen very easily and suddenly. So it makes sense that we don’t want everyone fully armed. <br><br>Also the biggest difference I think is that, in my country, we put the state/collectivist part of the state vs collectivist debate much higher up than the individual part. I have seen posts of Americans saying they would rather die than let the government take their guns, take their property or do anything like that. I think that’s absolute nonsense. Why would you value your guns, house, life, etc. more than the life’s of everyone else? Why would you think that your one life matters more than the many lives of others? I am not saying you should let the government walk all over you, but if people in my country behaved like that, we would never make it out of our situation. Nobody cares if you die, and you should not care if you die as long as your neighbors lives are safe. I cannot describe this more than the phrase “for the people, by the people”.
