In the 1770's American won a war against a "tyrannical" government using a rag-tag militia armed with whatever they had in the closet. In the days of Artillery, Cavalry and Infantry, a militia armed with hunting weapons could conceivably overthrow a government.
But today? What chance does an AR-15 have against a drone? Or a stealth bomber? Or a tank? Or a nuclear bomb? Or submarine launched cruise missiles? Or reconnaissance satellites?
If King George had nuclear weapons and George Washington had AR-15's, Americans would be driving on the left, playing cricket and enjoying a spot of tea.

You do realize that if they are (military) given an illegal order they have the right and should disobey that order, but since they have nukes and tanks we should just shut the hell up and let them do whatever they want right? How did that work out in Germany during the 30's-40's?
look I'm not saying there will be a civil war but what I am saying is that if the government has nothing to fear except not getting votes (especially our corrupt ass system) then they will do whatever they want. So lets say your dad was a great man, he commanded respect and would spank your backside if you did something wrong and that gave you the fear and respected him as the true authority. Now say your dad is a big puss that lets you walk all over him and doesn't do a dang thing about it, you would continue to do it because you have no fear from that man of doing anything to keep you in line.
Terrible argument and I'm sure someone will come in with some Pavlov or Freude stuff and blah blah blah this x country doesn't have guns and they don't have their government doing whatever they want to them... Crap
