In a hypothetical case of all-out welfare, you are probably wrong. Drones, tanks, communication satellites giving tactical real time maps while all you have is a bunch of semi-automatic rifles and dead phones is a no-win situation.

None of this would happen, because as soon as US citizens (who are National Guard) realize they are told to attack and kill fellow US citizens they will tell the chain of command to go pound sand.

Your access or lack of access to a rifle makes ZERO difference in the above scenario. What makes difference is access to information. Instead of worrying about gun restrictions targeted at mitigating social ills you should be much more concerned about access and freedom of communication, government accountability and other things like that.

Guns as a means to resist hostile government is a bogus argument.
