The &quot;small groups of fighters&quot; have been fighting for generations against the tyranny of larger, mostly distracted forces.  That the US didn&#x27;t &quot;win&quot; is a political matter, not one of ability. If the full weight of the US military were put against an uprising, the rednecks with the doomsday shelters would be annihilated in short order.<p>England was similarly distracted.  AND on the other side of the freaking world.  Fighting the colonies were more time and money than they were worth.<p>The problem with the gun issue in this country is that the people who vote against gun control are the ones least susceptible to gun violence.  I guarantee you that you&#x27;ll find a lot of support for gun control in housing projects.
