True, but military grade weapons would make it easier to bring down a tyrant would it not. What if our allies could not help us due to other issues. Also really peaceful protest? Have you heard about what Stalin did to those who opposed him? I mean Putin has imprisoned those who have put up anti-putin propaganda. If a tyrant was in control of our country I highly highly doubt peaceful protest would cause them to fall. There were good germans during Hitler's time, did that stop him from commiting mass genocide. No; tyrants will not give up power just because the people are protesting them peacefully. They're called tyrants for a reason. I'm not trying to say peace is bad, it is ineffective against cruel, evil, people who have no humanity. Also you said protection from what. Hunters use automatic pistols for protection against animals like bears, wolves, coyotees, and cougars. Citzens can use guns to protect themselves from thugs and looters. An example is an attack that happened in St Paul where a woman was beaten by a gang of 50 people. Also you ignored the other uses I said for automatic weapons. I'll continue debating with you tommorrow but it's 11:40 at night here so don't expect a response from me till some time tommorrow.
