(15 posts)I believe the hypothetical situation I'm asking about could lead to the senseless murder of millions if our worst fears about the President are ever realized.
The idea that a population with hunting rifles could do much damage at all to a government with the arsenal similar to that of the US Federal Government is laughable, yes, which is why this question is so important to consider.
And maybe a tyrannical government can't be, "stopped," but that wouldn't keep me from fighting it anyway.
So if we had to protect millions from the gas chambers (as many feared we would have to), would automatic weapons, high capacity magazines, Teflon bullets and silencers help or hinder that fight?
History is full of examples where Governments hit their populace with a Jackboot so it is hard to exclude it as a possibility.
