Imagine if all of the Predator drones armed with Hellfire and Viper missiles are cruising the countryside searching out “curfew violators,” “zone jumpers,” and of course, “armed insurgents.”

It’s not so easy playing Robin Hood in the forest anymore. You can’t see or hear the UAVs. They just zap you from 15,000 feet up. This is very bad for guerrilla morale, and inhibits volantarism.

Don’t discount the govts. ability to enforce tyrannical measures, if push comes to shove, after the declaration of martial law and various “emergency powers acts.”

I’m not saying they would succeed by any means. But I’m saying they would not be a pushover, if they pulled out all of the stops to “combat domestic terrorists.”

Agreed. And they start with incramentalism, ban assalt riles, tax ammo, register guns, ban gun shows, etc. and on and on.

The feds just can't say, "Everyone must turn in there guns by Tuesday or we start kicking in doors." You know what the reaction to that would be.

the drones don’t work in crowded urban areas like that. thats fine if your blowing up a mud hut in paki.

Please keep in mind that the location of the governments military depots are known to most of us. Not only do we know where they are, we know what is in them. In addition, some of us know where the key to the depot door is kept.

Soon after the balloon goes up, everyone will be equally armed, and the destruction might be substantial.
