its not that a gun doesn't help you if the government has fighter jets,
its that a gun doesn't help you if everyone else who has one, is on the side of tyranny.

this is where culture comes into it, much more powerfully and significantly then even if you had your own nuclear cruse missiles.

the thing to think about is what kind of a world do you want to live in, and what kind of social, moral and cultural values would make it that way.
its alright for role play if you want to live in a world where everyone goes around trying to kill or even just harass each other,
but for everyday life, i think anyway, that would be a pretty good description of hell.
