Except you have to remember it is government. The same government that said they could never envision terrorists flying airplanes into a building, yet that happened, and the FAA, the US Military and every single person in government wasn't able to do one little fucking thing to affect that outcome was there? Total failure of every single defense system the government has.
I tell ya, if you can just hijack an airplane and fly it around for an hour and then fly it into a building and NO ONE tries to stop you? LOL, I wouldn't put too much faith in government being competent enough to round up more than 2 or 3 dissidents.
Look around, do you see any politicians NOT acting like Morons? All the smart people aren't in government.
9/11 was a battle, the single battle terrorism ever won in their declared war on the U.S.
there was recently a poll here that asked if people were still frightened by terrorists - most said no.
I don't think it is a coincidence that the only time the American people were frightened by terrorists was when we had leaders that needed us to be fearful in order for them to accomplish their agenda. Note that this current administration has no need for that same frightened citizenry and lo and behold, we are no longer frightened.
What you are maintaing is that a loosely organized population that is armed with a vast assortment of irregular weapons from blunderbusses to mock "assault weapons" is capable of taking on the most sophisticated and powerful military ever assembled. Our country is still capable of a prolonged two theater war, and you actually believe that some ad hoc militia could take it on? The question is, would our military follow orders or refuse to fight our own citizens.
I submit that our military is well enough trained that it will follow orders first. We see evidence of that same military following orders to torture, we see that they have been used in riots (and this is only the state militia). Times have changed, your weapons won't do you a lick of good in the next revolution the gun toters are so anxious to start.
