Second, all the military equipment you've mentioned is not built (or the parts) on a military bases, but by civilians in 1000's of different places around the US. Meaning, the Government has a limited amount of time to putdown a civil uprising because if it does spread, they won't be able to get parts to keep equipment functional. I assure you that the people making those parts are all pro 2nd amendment.

Third, you being a British "subject" don't have a clue on what it's actually like to be a citizen or the inherit duty to be one. Your duty as a subject is to obey what your government tells you as a citizens duty is to makes sure the government does what we tell them to even at the end of a barrel if need be.

And you as an American are brought up the be a conspiracy theorist. So tell us all what it would take for 100% of the citizens to turn against the Government. Yet keep the police and Military loyal?
