Small armed groups can last for some time as long as they can find
homage somewhere still. It depends on how much a big army wants to
go all out in their pursuits of warfare obviously. If they wanted to
bomb all over the place, then it would most definitely be difficult
to last under those conditions.

In Iraqi insurgency is armed with military grade weaponry.
woods:
In Iraqi, from what I've heard, the insurgents weaponry has become
more advance over time. Iran? Syria? And more intellect innovation
of how they put the bombs together. People could steal weapons from
their enemies, but all of this is such a different scenario with outsiders
helping the insurgents being a huge factor.
Arlo:
Tell me, if you believe a handful of hunters could indeed make some type of
stand against an invading army, and you find this to be a basis for
the right of gun ownership, then do you favor arming our citizens
with military weaponry?
woods:
How far to allow citizens arm themselves? All the way to nuclear weapons? -
obvious not. Mortars? I don't know enough about this stuff to
provide a good answer. It's all a bit dangerous if you ask me.
Arlo:
Wouldn't that make their ability to stand against an encroaching army
more probable? I mean, if we arm our
citizens to protect us from invasions, then why arm them with only
pea-shooters and pop-guns? Why not arm them with assault weapons,
bazookas and flamethrowers?
woods:
Don't know how to answer this. It's dangerous talk to be honest. I pray
we don't get to this point.
Arlo:
For what its worth, should an invading army occupy America, it will
only be by securing military weapons (on the blackmarket, or smuggled
in via a supportive nation) that any line of defense we have will
stand (assuming our army has already been beaten). This is what is
happening in Iraq. It is not a bunch of hunters and handgun owners
holding off the American army.
woods:
We are on the same page it would seem, if it would ever get that far.
I don't see this meaning that having a hunting rifle as an obsolete measure.
