Too bad Joe never studied history. It is amazing to learn what a group of dedicated people can accomplish with AK's.

Vietnam, Afghanistan...

Even if a modern military can easily take over a country that has lots of small arms, the cost of occupying a country that has lots of guns is much more expensive than occupying a country that has been disarmed.

The whole point of an armed society is provide a deterrence from bad government actions (be it foreign or domestic).
