You forget, I guess, that the US population outnumbers, out guns, out ammos, out horsepowers, all of our gummints at every level. There is no force anyplace in the world who can out gun a determined band of US Citizens, especially including our own military. You really have to fight the urge to live in fear of stupid government and develop your own plan should heavy-handed brown shirts come to your neighborhood.

Either that or live in fear of every shadow.
