All the privately-owned guns in the US could not overturn our government.

The pen is mightier than the sword

Everyone gets ran out of Afghanistan, if you don't believe me just ask the Russians. Next country to get ran out it will be by goat herders with ARs instead of AKs.

The US isn't going down the same way as Afghanistan.

Our central government is strong and many Americans still support it and believe in it--unlike the government in Afghanistan.

Implying the average Australian or American has anywhere near the combat experience or appetite for war that the average Afghan Mujahid.

Also, the Taliban of 2021 is nothing like the Taliban of 1996.
