God forbid the people ever turn on the United States of America and her government. It would be over pretty quick. I would not want to be a member of the military if the people turned on our country. Imagine 150 million Americans standing up for their rights in being incredibly well-armed versus a military that would not be very happy about going against her own sons and daughters. I think it would be a pretty quick and almost immediate collapse of our government’s leadership. Joe Biden is right about one thing. You don’t need an M16. You don’t need an AR-15. You don’t need an AR-14. All you need is the people to have a reason and if we are just a step away from an entire financial collapse if all people want is food and gas in their vehicle, politicians can be replaced pretty quick. Joe maybe replaced by his own party without guns. At this moment they could use the 25th amendment against him. They could use his prior actions of treason against the United States and even filling out a false statement when he ran for president that he did not engage in treasonous acts against his country. Governments need the military. All people need is a reason. Let them eat cake :-)

The military has already turned on their sons and fathers and neighbors within this Nation, 1860s time frame.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal,

 that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights,

 that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--

 

That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men,

 deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --

 

That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends,

 it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government,

 laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form,

 as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

 

Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes;

 and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable,

 than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.

 

But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design

 to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government,

 and to provide new Guards for their future security.--

 

Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies;

 and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government.

 

The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations,

 all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States.

 

To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.
