This is my favourite part of the pro second amendment argument. Some redneck #######s who think that in the extremely unlikely chance that the government just decides they want to dictators, that they're going to all band together and get all Red Dawn to preserve their "freedom". They think they're going to successfully resist a system where a kid with a joystick can level your house with an unmanned drone.
It's a 230 year old idea from a time when people had to pour their gunpowder into a metal tube to fire a steel ball and it's tragically comical that people still think it's relevant.
