1) I honestly doubt it because American citizens are generally big pussies and as time goes on they will probably get a lot worse. That said, if they do, who wins or loses is irrelevant. If they feel they have the right to try to defend themselves or do whatever it is they are trying to do, they should have that right. Look at what is happening in Syria right now. If the rebels were not armed it would have ended on day 2 and they are fighting the Syrian military and gaining ground.

2) You are assuming the US military would actually fire on US citizens. Maybe the baby killers would, but most of them would not. Using the middle east as another example, many soldiers changed sides and fought with the rebels, and they did this in every country involved in the "Arab Spring." Should that day ever come, and I doubt it will, I can't imagine too many of them following orders.

3) The "most powerful military in the world" can't beat the Taliban, can't get Iraq in order, and couldn't beat the rice farming, poorly trained Viet Cong. While they may be technically superior in every way, that does not mean automatic victory.

4) Those "little assault rifles" kill just the same as any other firearm, but we both know a lot of people have a lot more firepower than that.

Again, I'm not even saying any of this would ever happen, nor do I want it to. I'm saying there is always a possibility and none of us can possibly predict the future of our own lives let alone the lives of our grandchildren or their grandchildren. I prefer not to live by "America is awesome - fuck yea!" and instead would rather stay grounded and learn from world history, which says anything is possible if the conditions are right.
