If you have been watching the struggle in Ukraine, you've seen images of regular people, citizens, being armed to resist tyranny. This is the foundation of the 4ne Amendment, which says, in part:
The Right of The People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.
That is fairly clear language, and you may note that it doesn't say anything about the type of arms that The People might keep.
There is a pretty good article at Based Politics that reminds us why we need the 2nd Amendment. The nay-sayers rightly say that you can't stop a tank with a rifle. That's true, but...
If you know anything about armored combat, you know that they don't operate in a vacuum/ If you have watched the videos or seen the images coming out of Ukraine, you have seen that generally, one guy always has his head stuck out of the top of the tank. He's the tank commander, and one well placed bulllet will drop hi like a used condom.
I know to a certainty that my old Savage bolt action will hit a 6" target at 300 yards. So much for that tank commander's head. That degrades a 3-man crew t a 2-man crew, and the fighting capability o the tank is reduced significantly. If that crew manages to get over the shock of their deceased commander, and the gunner sticks his head out, another bullet renders hi hors de combat, and they are down to a one-man crew.
One good man with a rifle can make a difference on a battle field. That has always been true and will always be true.

A tanker has to breath too. I have seen dozens of stories showing Molotov Cocktails being made. They do wonders against thin skinned armor or trucks but even tankers need oxygen and having burning gas all over your tank can ruin your day.
I gotta figure it gonna get hot inside when covered in multiple flaming firebombs full of jelled petroleum, several times over.
Tanks on their own don't survive well... There is a reason they are part of Combined Arms!
There are many ways to slow and stop Invaders when the defenders are motivated.
Good point. Except they are handing out guns to those that probably have never shot one, certainly not to 300 yards.
I saw a video yesterday that was busted trees with piles of meat at the bottom of some of them. Shown on the ground and leaning here and there the giveaway anti-tank weapons and other guns.
All fun and games until you take on a tank and get turned into a pile of meat and goo.
The vehicle commander and driver for the matter do not need to ride open hatch with their heads exposed. Button up and use vision blocks and weapon sights to view and navigate.
There are several ways to disable a Tank. RPG to the treads. Sneak up to the last Tank in the convoy and pour gasoline through the engine cooling vents. If you can get on the Tank, spray the all optical or observation ports. If you did get on the Tank and they can't see you,and you know the caliber of the cannon, shove the right size plug down the barrel, or drop a grenade down the barrel. Or just set whole darn Tank on fire with diesel fuel and a Molotov.
