Alright, say that's true. And say literally every man, woman, and child is equipped with an AR-15 and unlimited ammo, how exactly are we supposed to over throw one of the worlds largest armed forces? How are the common people, even armed with unlimited ammo supposed to go against drones, powerful bombs, aircraft, tanks, etc. Sure, a small handful of military vehicle are owned by civilians, but those aren't going to last long. The general population is hopeless to stand up against death from the skies; not to mention all the possibilities of bioweapons or simply shutting off the utilities the government controls.

....because the US has done soooooo well against entrenched insurgencies >_> That's why Vietnam was such a massive success and why we were able to remove terrorism from the Middle East. And, you know, because using the same tactics in those nations here totally wouldn't spur a much larger rebellion and soldiers absolutely wouldn't disobey their orders when forced to potentially kill loved ones. And social media depictions of the government's brutal actions certainly wouldn't change hearts and minds against the government.

Perhaps in the musket days the general population could overthrow the government via force, but I don't think it's possible in today's world.

...says a dude who is profoundly ignorant when it comes to US military history.
