Electile Dysfunction (Current students plz look!)

I really wouldnt call it a civil war, but more of a revolution... "we" are currently playing revolution because the cost to play is low.

I actually do think there would be true defectors (in mass) when we face a true authoritarian government. I know more local NG folks and my local LE.

This country was founded by 20 year olds who purchased their only military grade hardware and handed it out. They fought traditionally and non traditionally... the government passed the NFA and made it illegal to purchase some of the same items that founded this country... and every additional gun law since has widened the gap between civilians and the government... but instead of closing that gap you are arguing to give it all up and only vote because its useless. this is what real authoritarian governments want. play into it all you want... i wont.

This country was founded when the firearms gap between the haves and have nots was much smaller. The build up of arms by the government is the vast majority of driving the gap, not gun laws requiring a $200 tax for suppressors. I am advocating for the demilitarization of police (et al) to close the gap. That's really the only way an armed populace would stand a chance.

in the small arms world i agree... because everyone had small arms. my small arms vs. the NG small arms... basically equal... slightly behind. 

but the founding fathers had to buy artillery, explosives, etc. (which we cant buy anymore). sure i cant buy a F22 or any of that... but neither could the Taliban. They sure as hell pissed off a variety of standing armies. much like the founding fathers (and the evil taliban) we can be just as annoying to a standing army.
