>Lol the fact that random people have guns has nothing to do with US dominance

It's no laughing matter. It has more to do than you might think.

>Unless you’re saying that random armed people are going to defend against a coup from our own army - doubtful

Think again.

>Hypothetical “defense” at what cost? Mass shootings every week is worth it?

Yes. Those who trade their fundamental freedoms for a little greater safety will eventually have neither.

I constantly argue with people like you, feel free to read some of my other comments to see why you would do precisely nothing to a major armed force and would actually rationalize their targeting of civilians in your make believe Red Dawn world. (No, Vietnam and Afghanistan are not appropriate parallels).

PS: you also entirely fail to provide counterpoints to any of the points the person you are replying to made, only vague and nonsensical implications.
