We, the people, ARE govt. The elected officials have been going beyond their Constitutionally designated boundaries for some time. So, we can charge them with sedition?

Interesting question. I'm not a lawyer or a Constitutional scholar. But my thinking is that if you read the Constitution (and appropriate precedential law), we do have processes in place to address the wrongs of the members of our government. This includes impeachment of the President. Other members of government are usually (but far from always) subject to the same laws as the citizens. Change, unless blatantly criminal, is usually done through the vote.

The right to bear arms, and militias (I do have some questions about that...but that's another topic! :) are one means to ensure that the government stays in line and is representative of the people. I don't believe it was EVER intended to be the primary or preferred means....that's why we have a voting process.

I don't have the answer, and don't know where to draw the line. I guess I'm more asking questions for intelligent debate.
