Going to rallies, donating time and money is ridiculously easy. Why should anyone believe the people on the sidelines will do anything when it's difficult?

Most won't, but some will. The entire point of my response was that an effective resistance movement anywhere in the world doesn't need a large part of the population actively participating to have the desired effect. Such a movement only needs a relatively few who are truly dedicated. Ask the British - they found out the hard way. So did we in Vietnam, and the Russians in Afghanistan. No government can impose its will on an armed populace that doesn't want to live life on its knees.

"Most won't, but some will."

What happens in that sort of conflict is that a very small group starts a ruckus and the heavy handed methods of the government pushes the rest into the fight. I have a very poor crystal ball. It doesn't work very well so I can't see what this country can do to resolve this conflict. I'm just happy to take the easy way out. Voting, rallies and donating time and money to the causes I believe in, mainly the Second Amendment.

Perhaps. But in 2002 you can forget about bands of guerrillas hiding out in the forests, that is fantasy land. Guerrillas in the forests will last as long as tanks in the open desert. The only type of resistance which can succeed is the solo operator who tells no one his plan, leaves at midnight and is back before dawn. Groups will just not last, forget it.
