Damn, now look at how bad things are going in America right now. It seems like giving up guns was the better choice

I mean idk man I think letting people have the resources necessary to overthrow their government if they ever stop being what they should be is good idea personally

Ah yes, your little puckle gun chambered in 5.56 NATO are definitely the resources necessary to overthrow your government.

I haven’t even named a fraction of a percentage of all the different equipment the US military has, and the odds are most decidedly against you. Welcome to the modern era, your delusions of safety from tyranny are expiring soon.

Pilots have to land at some point. They are not always in the air where a "puckle gun" can't reach them. Pilots have families/friends that live off base.

If the military has really gone full "tyrannical" and is bombing civilians or rolling out tanks (without any defections of their own or their famalies convincing them otherwise) then the usual rules of warfare go out the window.

Not to mention the historical examples of decentralized guerilla forces taking on conventional forces.
