"One town of guys with shotguns wo n't cow the US Military , and a .45 is n't much good against an F-15 . So unless one is prepared to argue that civilians should have the right to own similar weaponry , heavy artillery , even nuclear weapons , this argument must fall.This argument would lead to the conclusion that to adequately combat the government , private citizens would need to have machine guns , bazookas , shoulder launched missiles , tanks , blackhawk helicopters , and yes even nuclear weapons . Again , this exemplifies the idiocy of the NRA 's arguments ."
"So police who are not military and are civilians , unless you are paid by the DOD and come under the geneva Convention you are a civilian period . If you had of paid attention , you should know that it is not the `` standing army `` that is fighting the current wars , it is oath taking militia/civilians from the State National Guards and reserve forces who have taken the same oath many of us have , to protect the Constitution from all enemies both domestic and foreign . That is not to say that only those people are the militia either ! Can you name one successful government that has ever won a guerrilla war ? Russia fought in Afghanistan for how long before it limped back home ?"
