"Today, only a handful of citizens outside of neo-nazi and white supremacist goups view gun ownership as a means of keeping the government in check. Even those citizens who continue to maintain such antiquated views must face the reality that the United States’ armed forces are too large and too powerful for the citizenry to make much difference. Quite frankly, the idea of the citizenry rising up against the U.S. government with their handguns and assault rifles, and facing the military with these personal arms is absurd."

Is this guy crazy, or just stupid? Only the neo-Nazi's care about the 2nd Amendment?! He doesn't read FR, does he? 80 million gun owners in America. Imagine just HALF of that as a standing army! Average number of guns per owner: 2.6. 160 million handguns or rifles is ABSURD? He assumes we'd be facing the US military. We'd be facing an ANTI-US Military...the REAL U.S. military would likely be on the side of defending the country against despotism. At least the ones I know would be. He cites WACO as proof the "people" are impotent?! A bunch of suicidal cultists?

Disarm the people to fight attacks on our country?! What should we do, throw rocks and garbage at them? Where do they find these a$$clowns?!

I wonder what this moron thinks would happen to the mighty US military if even one fifth of the American people rose up and seized control of or destroyed it's support base?
