How about owning 80 million guns? 
Tanks, fighter jets, chemical weapons, nukes >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> a trillion revolvers and pistols.
and no one is talking about stopping the government just making sure they don't overstep their boundaries and become tyrannical. And the insurgents in Iraq and Afghanistan have been doing very well despite the discrepancy in equipment , same as Vietnam
Bullshit. The insurgents in Afghanistan are winning because the U.S doesen't want to appear as the bad guy and kill a bunch of innocents, so they are only using light infantry in those combats and hunting down the guerilla fighters like the police would hunt criminals . If the U.S wanted, they could level the entire country from the air or using nukes and all those insurgents would be toast. Inside Afghan cities the insurgents wouldn't stand a chance since heavy aritllary and tanks pawn any weapon a single man can carry. As for Vietnam, the Northern Vietnamese were receiving supplies from China and the U.S.S.R which included heavy artillary, mines, grenades, etc. You are seriously mistaken if you think hand guns were all they had. And the U.S could have won in Vietnam if it weren't for the fact they couldn't use annihilation tactics at the risk of entering in a nuclear conflagration with the U.S.S.R.
80 million guns is a staggering number for anyone
Trust me, a single tank could annihilate all those 80 million people armed with pistols, revolvers and even automatic weapons if the tank had infinite ammunition and fuel and the guy inside the tanks wouldn't suffer any injury. Or conversely, a single squadron of World War II B-59 bombers could wipe out 80 million people armed to their teeth from the air, and none of the pilots would be killed. Not one.
