In fact you guys already did as a responce to 9/11, you gave up your rights to privacy or habeus corpus without a whimper, the point about tyranny is it always directed at a minority, as long as you felt you wernt going to be sent to Gitmo you could care less who was.

Your guns are a sop, a pacifier to keep you happy and in the event of a real tyranny you and your guns will be used to hunt down and kill whichever poor #######s the tyranny uses to scare you into aquiesance, knowing the US this will historically be the blacks.

Its sad when political theory can be wrapped up by a line from Star Wars.

So this is how liberty dies, with thunderous applause.
