That's because I've been the security state during an insurgency, and I know how they can lose, and how hard it is for them to actually win.
This is how I know that power is illusory. When you point a gun at someone and they just stand their and look at you like: "piss off." You really don't have power over them. And killing them? That makes you completely powerless. What you typically don't see after a gun battle is the winning western forces having to fish dead insurgents out of canals that they had used as a fortification. That's what winning a battle looks like. Civil Disobedience is the recognition by someone that they don't have to listen to you.
The 2nd Amendment is the last line of defense. If you have to resort to it, you've already lost huge ground.
