What are you going to do against a tank? Or a jet? Or just artillery fire?

I'm going to say the same thing I say to everyone that brings this up thinking they've hit on some infallible logic.

Small arms are all you need to eliminate people at the top of command structures, thus collapsing those command structures. A sniper named Simo Häyhä had over 500 confirmed kills during WW2. His job was basically to find and kill officers. He survived the war. You can also look at the Vietnam War. The U.S. was technologically superior to the Vietnamese. We still lost and went home without our mission accomplished. Same thing in the Middle East. Never actually accomplished our goals. Went home. Because it's really hard to deal with enemies using guerilla tactics with typical firearms.

You don't seem to understand that protests, while important, don't make fascists stop being fascists. Force has always been required to put down fascist movements. If this goes far enough there will come a time when protests don't matter, at all. When that time comes are you gonna let a fascist put a bullet through the back of your skull or are you gonna pick up a firearm and do something? Can't do that if you don't have firearms. Can't do that if you haven't trained. Can't do that alone.

If this escalates far enough and people don't do as I suggested, there will be no resistance beyond protests, which won't be enough.
