This is an excellent point. As a public we are so underarmed against a government that could become fascist, that even assault weapons would be largley ineffective against the military weapons of today.
Since the author writes for 'Outdoor Life,' the only way to get across to him is to voice your disaapproval to his employer. E-mails are nice and they're easy, but if you want to make an impression, go to the trouble of writing a paper letter and mailing it. That will definitely get their attention.
As a secondary tactic, write to their advertisers.I had a run-in with a magazine several years ago. Repeated letters to the editor and publisher got nowhere. But when I threatened to write to their advertisers they came around in a hurry.
In the event of such circumstances the idea would be to not fight the military but the civillian govt. literally make it impossible to govern due to losses/fear among the paper shuffler class.

I read your post and thought of one of my favorite threads that I have ever read on FreeRepublic. Here it is: http://www.freerepublic.com/forum/a38fcb918771f.htm
What good can a handgun do against an Army? Thread II
"even assault weapons"?
Sounds like you've bought in to the clinton/brady bunch line that "assault weapons" are so much more deadly than other SEMI-automatic firearms are (WRONG) and more powerful (WRONG) that they are a "force" to be reckoned with.
Believe me, as a former Marine, that IF and when our government oversteps its bounds in a major way, MUCH of our military will be on OUR, the citizens, side. Unlawful orders do NOT have to be followed.
Additionally, we could, if we had to, wage an insurgency with what we have now, and with improvised weapons and captured weapons as time went on.
I believe we would prevail against a tyrannical government, BUT...
much of that confidence hinges on FIERCLY protecting and defending our 2nd Amendment from any and all attacks (no matter how "reasonable" and "sensible" the left-wing gun-grabbing demonRATS and RINOs (like RINO-rudy) make their arguments SEEM.
We also need to keep up a constant fight to get current, useless gun laws, aimed by gun-grabbers at law-abiding citizens, REMOVED from the books PERMANENTLY.
I am glad to see that the outrage against zumbo appears to have been substantial enough to get his a** in trouble with those that provide a paycheck to him.
Goofballs like this from within are just as bad, maybe worse, than those from without.
"could" become fascist? wake up, man!!!
when the fascists take over and steal our guns, we should send them a message and build some guillotines.
