I guess it depends on what you believe can be used to overthrow! ;-)

My gut reaction - no, you are not wrong.

But I'm afraid you think we could use just our firearms to actually overthrow a gov!

BTW, no disrespect meant here. Partly I'm getting confused as to who said what! Always good to find another RevWar "fan"!

I don't think with our civilian arms we could "overthrow" or government if it did go that route.

With our arms pulling the vote lever and voices, we could. But I am afraid America has become to "dumbed down for that". People do not know what liberty or Freedom are. Both different, but go hand in hand. People now want the government to take care of them, not to fend for themselves.

On the "arms" issue.

I believe we haven't been attacked by terrorist like the rest of the world, is because we are an "armed" populace. We have more civilins with guns than any other country, besides Switzerland and Isreal(the exception).

If the large standing army which was so feared by our Founders sits out the conflict, then the government could be overthrown using pitchforks and buckets of tar.
