If only Poland had had guns then WW2 wouldnt have happened

I wonder how many examples of armed uprisings against tyrants there are in which said rebels were simply squashed like flies by said tyrant who retained his power? I mean, the Kurds of northern Iraq were armed. They even had a well-regulated militia (the Peshmerga). A fat lot of good it did them when Saddam Hussein just bombed them with chemical weapons….
