I want to say he is shockingly ignorant for a President*, to possess such a vast misunderstanding of the 2nd Amendment, but I have to remember this speech is for his constituents, he's speaking to the idiots who don't know better and will believe every lie that comes out of his mouth.

I recognize he's the president of the United States. He's certainly not my guy though. I didn't vote for him and I don't agree with him on guns.
I do think technology has passed the original intent of the 2nd amendment by though. It would be difficult for the populace to truly defend themselves from a tyrannical US government in 2021 if they truly put their mind to hurting citizens and the military didn't pick sides. That's just my honest take. People might hold out for a while but you'd likely just see several dozen Branch Dovidian scenarios.

Unless American citizens were willing to survive in caves for 10 years and stoop to Taliban tactics (suicide bombers every day), it is an apples to oranges comparison.

You wouldn't have to do that. What would 20 guys in each of the 20 largest American cities sniping 1 person a day at random do to those cities?
How about 10 guys with shotguns storm Sidwell Friends school in DC and go to town.
20 guys shoot the largest most unique high voltage transformers with 50 cals.
The Afghans didn't have easy access to our soldiers/politicians families or critical American infrastructure.
Getting oddly specific. Thinking you may get a visit from the FBI soon.

For f***s sake dude there are Americans that torture animals on a regular basis, and worse than that (not even the same ballpark) torture other humans. This happens in real world America TODAY, and it happens while we punish it as the worst crimes that people can commit.
It blows me away that people like you ignore how evil so many people are. Take a walk through your neighborhood tomorrow. There is a very good chance that at least one of your neighbors would do horrific things if they thought they could get away with it, let alone it being condoned by an evil government.
Grow up. People are both good and evil. We hope most are good, but a shocking number are evil. Western civilization isn't that much different than the 1930s.
It's the people that think we're past evil that are the enablers of evil.

The US government may not have "won" in Afghanistan by they killed hundreds of thousands of insurgents and wounded millions. And essentially occupied the country for 2 decades.

Quote:
The Rebel
BY HILAIRE BELLOC
There is a wall of which the stones
Are lies and bribes and dead men's bones.
And wrongfully this evil wall
Denies what all men made for all,
And shamelessly this wall surrounds
Our homesteads and our native grounds.
But I will gather and I will ride,
And I will summon a countryside,
And many a man shall hear my halloa
Who never had thought the horn to follow;
And many a man shall ride with me
Who never had thought on earth to see
High Justice in her armoury.
When we find them where they stand,
A mile of men on either hand,
I mean to charge from right away
And force the flanks of their array,
And press them inward from the plains,
And drive them clamouring down the lanes,
And gallop and harry and have them down,
And carry the gates and hold the town.
Then shall I rest me from my ride
With my great anger satisfied.
Only, before I eat and drink,
When I have killed them all, I think
That I will batter their carven names,
And slit the pictures in their frames,
And burn for scent their cedar door,
And melt the gold their women wore,
And hack their horses at the knees,
And hew to death their timber trees,
And plough their gardens deep and through
And all these things I mean to do
For fear perhaps my little son
Should break his hands, as I have done.

So if not, it doesn't make much sense to compare US citizens to the Taliban zealots in terms of tactics.
And if we ever stopped to such tactics, that is not the side I'd be in for sure.

The reason we couldn't win in Afghanistan is the same reason we couldn't win in Vietnam. We were fighting an enemy willing to do horrific things, evil things to their own people to outlast their enemy. Trained from decades of war and famine to survive horrible conditions and programmed by their leadership to sacrifice their lives and families to destroy the enemy.
Americans by and large are not like that. While we certainly have hardened and evil individuals among us, most are led by a morality that would balk at ever considering comparable tactics. Most have never experienced war or even hunger. Or even life without AC.
That's why I chuckle at the "if the Taliban could fight off the US government, we could too!" comments that pop up. It is such a false equivalency in terms of morality, culture, mindset and experience.
