Then there are these illiterate guys riding Chinese dirt bikes who've tied down the largest military in the world with cowshit, diesel fuel, shaved aluminum, and a battery for the last decade.
The point is you can NEVER stop a movement no matter how superior the weapons. Americans weapons are "just" a tangible reminder of a past movement and hope we label freedom.

Better post.
In Afghanistan, like Hitler's talk, it's a governance problem "maintaining law and order". Had your original point been "I want to keep guns to protect myself against the Government" I would have been in total agreement.
It's your argument that it would prevent conflicts altogether that is flawed. As your Vietnam example shows once a conflict starts who wants to be armed is armed. prior ownership has little incidence.
