As the "mechanized" ranks increase in number and capability, it will require fewer and fewer "meat world" controllers. A smaller group of people is easier to co-opt than a larger group of people. In terms of American Freedom, we have safety in numbers. Robots are reducing the numbers.
Try the "pistol" method on a robot guard, you will instantly make every other guard in the vicinity know exactly where you are and what you look like. With speed no human can possibly match, they will be racing to your position with infrared and other advanced sensors to kill you immediately, and that is if you can take out the first Robot guard with a pistol shot. The tools we use currently to hunt down insurgents in Iraq and Afghanistan may someday be used on patriots here in America.
