In college in the early 70s, and some hippies would actually talk about how there was a real chance of a 'revolution' to overthrow the government. I was a downer in pointing out the reality of the fact that we had Molotov cocktails and rocks, and they had a freaking army and police force.
Same logic applies to the ammosexuals (someone who gets aroused by guns and ammo) and their contention that their arsenals are for the purpose of one day fighting a repressive US regime.
