Hurr durr, but the government has tanks and bombers so your guns can't protect you anyway.

Tanks and bombers run on gas. Soldiers have to eat. No government can suppress a population determined to resist for any length of time. But guns make it a whole lot harder for them.

Every revolution ever was won with small arms. But just the status of being unarmed pacifies people. Having a gun gives people courage. You just need the wisdom to go along with it.
