List three examples of government shows of force that were successfully foiled by armed civilians. Should be trivial if you believe it happens regularly.

I didn't say successfully foiled. Gov't usually "wins" these cases, but at great cost & deterred for long after. Pyrrhic victories.

I didn't say regularly. I said "rare". Sometimes decades between them.

Athens. Waco. Bundy Ranch. Twin Peaks.
