Hate to rain on your parade, but the rabid gun nuts have been getting this wrong for a LONG time now. Small arms aren't going to be effective if the government comes for you. I say that as a gun owner.
Yeah, I think most people know that. That's not the point, the point is to have some way to defend yourself, even if it isn't much.
Small arms won't stop the military from knocking down your door, sure. Its nothing compared to the shear power of tanks, helicopters, airplanes, artillery, drones, and massive other powers our military possess, besides just lucrative numbers of soldiers and firearms.
But if the United States military, had to go door to door, to even a thousand homes, with armed civilians, kicking in the door. It would make a statement.
The point is, having that weapon isn't to stop them, it's to slow them down. It's to show them that we won't go down without a fight. It's to show that we are independent and free citizens, and that we understand our right the fore-fathers of this country wrote into the constitution, for just this scenario.

I wouldn't either, and I normally wouldn't recommend this type of thing.
But when it comes to it, if the police start knocking on our doors, and trying to silence us. We each need a way to defend ourselves and fight back.
