Has a citizenry as well armed as ours ever been overcome by a tyrannical government?

“a GLOCK 45...a gun designed specifically for the military and the police”...HUH?,,,”that no civilian needs to own”...HUH? . I actually saw a column by some left loon saying that the shooter “really wanted to buy an AR 15, but couldn’t afford it”. They were praying he used an “assault” rifle. Lunatics

yes. it has happened here. the southern states that seceded in 1860/1861 had an armed citizenry.

Lincoln signed the 1st Confiscation Act in 1861 that gave the federal government the right to confiscate weapons from any and all persons who may have the intent to rebel. i’m not sure if it ever was enforced, but Lincoln did sign it and it did help fan the flames of rebellion... as well it should have!

That could be more or less irrelavent to their calculations. They are desperate and at the end of their rope. You do remember how this end game of theirs started. McCain had moved slightly into the lead, than he suspended his campaign while he returned to DC for the financial crisis. Obama than pulled back into the lead. Nothing good obviously happened after that. Now people like me are forced to pay a fine for insurance we do not want and cannot afford. Everyone's health insurance rates are going up dramatically. And deductibles are higher. And that is just Obamacare. Next up Obamatrade.

They are broke. Beyond broke. Their debt makes the debt of Greece look like pocket change. China is still holding some of our debt but stopped buying. So this is all leading up to them taking what they can from us just to keep the charade floating a little longer. They have to come for our assets.

So they have no choice. The jig is up. Think of Obama as the dancing monkey for the organ grinder. His issue is not the issue. Their debt load is the only issue. So they are desperate, taking a gamble and putting millions of lives at risk.

Good question. I suspect that we're pretty much off the chart in terms of how well-armed we are as citizens. When you factor in the number of veterans - many with recent combat experience - that are part of the picture, it's pretty clear why the government has been... hesitant.
