I love to hear you whine, don't stop. The right to bear arms and the ability to defend a population against it's own military have not been in the same universe for over a hundred years. But people cling to their fantasies.
It is hardly a fantasy. In more recent times we had the Battle of Athens, Tennessee. Returning WWII vets used arms to fight against corrupt government officials.
It is not our military we have to fight against. It is the shithead corrupt oppressive politicians that give orders to the military that we sometimes need to remind them that we aren't going to take this shit any more. The military may or may not take the sides of the oppressors.
Thomas Jefferson said that we need to have these reminders from time to time so that the corrupt assholes in power don't get too cocky.
Government sucks for the most part. When it crosses the line (like we have seen in the last few years) the people need to have the means to hold the government accountable for the oppression. However, whether we have the courage to do it or not s a different matter altogether.
