Re: “Watch from a distance and do the mil-dot calculations in their head...”
While a drone hovering about 18000’ overhead is watching him, and feeding real time IR video and GPS coordinates back to the assault team on the ground. All they have to do is punch those coordinates into a mortar or let a C-130 gunship make an example of you in order to dissuade others from engaging in similar suicidal gestures of defiance.
Sophisticated weapons technology is going to trump a lot of Patriot riflemen, I’m afraid, when the ball comes down.
Most of us may very well may find ourselves on the edge of Masada in very short order.
You give too much credit to our government.

As JN writes, “romantic nonsense.” There’s an epidemic of it on this issue.
The true power is not in your gun ownership but your productivity. If you really want to bring down the govt, or radically change it back to what it once was and should have remained, you can do it bloodlessly and successfully in a matter of DAYS. Organize enough productive taxpayers to agree on the demands, and then announce you will stop paying taxes. Whether you continue making money and resist courageously, or quit making money and resist legally, that’s your call.
But the govt cannot, absolutely cannot, survive without the revenue you supply it.
Not one bullet needs to fly. There’s nobody, up to and including the Pres_ent, who would not be thrown under a bus if you demanded it as a condition of paying taxes.
Want Obama out of the WH? If you shut the purse, who’d oppose his instant retirement? The EBT Party would be screaming for his removal.
In the meantime, this is a welfare state, a corrupt state, supporting welfare states and terror states around the world, because you the producers of wealth make it possible.
So put down your arms and snap your purses shut. You can make them all dance, Obama, the Congress, the military, the police, all.
You pay their salaries. They work for you. Suspend their pay and let the party begin.
