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.
It's about getting an AR-15 into the hands of every queer person, brown person, and the allies of such. A single AR-15 is no match. A squad of them in the hands of a mobilized neighborhood however...
What part of 'armored vehicle' confused you?

Gestapo thugs have to sleep sometime.
The part where Ukraine has demonstrated that they are vulnerable to drones that are explosive.
That can be easily neutralized by parking a few Cybertrucks around it when they aren't looking.
you're thinking the way they want you to think: that fighting face to face is the "only" way to fight
it's because they know they don't have the numbers

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.
Oh, people can't resist a government in the modern age? Tell that to Bashar al-Assad.
I own exactly zero guns. Urban warfare is as likely to get massive casualties on both sides. Ever heard of an IED? Freedom isn't free and democracy dies with a whimper, not a howl. You want to whimper and cower, or stand for the future of your country? Nazis didn't go away because we asked politely.
You have totally missed the point of arms being a deterrent. YOU are the one thinking in video game terms.
Anecdote: There have been two times I would have likely got my ass kicked out in the woods had I not been open carrying. Like magic, this fucker who loathed me was very, very polite.
For anyone else coming along; Guns are not magical "get off me" totems. You have to put in the time and effort to practice several skills, safety at the top of that list. It is not an easy solution.
Almost as if the other guy didn't have access to many, many more weapons and the legal right to shoot you.
Huh, can't wait for your instance to shutter.
Doesn’t matter whether shithead had guns of his own, the fact that he saw one on the person he wanted to victimise had one and he decided he didn't want lead poisoning.
Or he could smile and wave and then shoot him in the back...
Ah, yes the what if game. You've lost.
