There's a reason Kent State went down the way it did, and also why there's no US version of Tiananmen square. A radioactive crater isn't much of an economy, and the armed forces are made up of, well, you know, people who like most folk, don't enjoy shooting at people much like them.

The 2nd Amendment doesn't grant a right to bear arms - it prohibits the Government from restricting the right.
