content: The french are showing pretty well that you don't need guns to resist. Truth is in some way resisting without guns is easier. One of the reasons why Americans don't majorly rise up is because we know when we do, with our arms level, it's gonna be serious. So we wait and hope that we don't have to burn our country down. But in a disarmed country the ability to riot without fear of attack choppers being called in takes a bit of the pressure off. Also at the end of the day, for all of a government's power, if the people refuse to work, refuse to do their duties for the society, the government is finished. They can bring in all the troops they want, drop all the bombs they want but they will still be finished. This is why the #1 skill of a revolutionary is gardening.
