You seem to misunderstand that most people are not going to give up their comfortable lives, kids and wives for an object they will likely never use other than at the range, statistically speaking. People value high speed internet, Gucci, their home, their job and dancing with the stars as well as that Pumpkin spice Latte.
Hence why you don't see a huge group of people trying to stand up and do anything. So whoever said "if our founding fathers thought like that"...the 56 men didn't have the comforts of today, and they were facing an enemy they could actually beat because they were EQUALS in firepower and technology. We are no longer equals in that regard, and as I pointed out in my examples, once the first person gets shot or killed, the others drop their weapons and run like little girls.
In reality Police will just get you like they get most people. Traffic stops and other home visits...domestic dispute...your wife points out you have an illegal gun...off you go to a federal PMITA prison for 10 years.
So yeah, as I said, your "numbers" argument is invalid. Because it isn't ever going to happen. Hence why you post about it here rather than being out there...because you don't want to be made an example of, and once you are killed or jailed, those supporters will lose their will REAL quick. FACT based on actual events.
"Being out there" - whatever the hell that even means. Your tone seems to be getting increasingly demeaning, as if because I am not picking up a rifle and going on some rampage I'm a 'keyboard commando.' It's just really strange to read. You said you spent time in Afghanistan, is it completely peaceful over there, or are people still fighting? The point being is that even overwhelming superior firepower doesn't guarantee a victory.
