I own several guns and am generally opposed to gun control. That said, how can I defend myself from the government even with my guns? They have, like, tanks and stuff. Not to mention planes, missile, bombs, artillery, etc. Not much me and my bolt action '06 or Marlin 30-30 can do against that kind of firepower. Just sayin...[/b]
So if the government does something so radical that YOU are up in arms about it, don't you think a lot of people will be? Who drives those tanks, loads those bombs, operates that artillery. If you find yourself alone rising up against a tyrannical government then something went wrong with your plan. If you are in the Military, are you going to drive a tank against your parents, brother, sister, cousins? If there was a movement large enough in this country the government would possibly be crippled for lack of personnel to operate all the machinery, and many would operate it on the other sides behalf. You could have generals and entire army brigades etc. "rising up" on the side of one belief or another. That is what a civil war/revolution is right?
