Oh no! Is the pot calling the kettle black?!
If you think your AR-15 is a match for a full on SWAT team, or an armored vehicle, think again.
This isn't a video game, and there aren't any respawns in real life.
Ask the folks at MOVE how well fighting back worked for them.
The only reason the Americans won is that they had the French Navy on their side.
The French went broke supporting the Americans.
Also, the Brits were willing to cede to the Americans. The Brits kept getting US cotton and they were going to get it cheaper because once the British empire withdrew the Americans could expand into the Native nations the British had treaties with.
It's not comparable in any way.
