"You have no idea what kind of sh!t the military would unleash in the event of an armed resistance of RTKBA'ers. "

Actually, yes, we do. We built the systems the military uses, and many of us are prior or active duty military. We also know that 200,000 military are no match for 15,000,000 deer rifles.

You obviously do not know the size, scope, or capabilities of your own govertnment, and, instead, fear them.

Regarding the value of an armed public, I think it's significant that even during the worst of the Clinton gun grabbing escapades, no attempt was made to shut down the DCM program (that I'm aware of, I know it's been privatized now). That probably could have been done with nothing more than an executive order or budget cut. Even in the throes of a Clinton, the military must have recognized the benefits of firearm training and gun ownership (military weapons, nonetheless) throught the civilian population.
