Rebellion and revolution is possible in America today

I believe rebellion and revolution are possible in America today. I believe that causes (a) and means (b) are present for this. (a) Causes: 1. Voting - In 2012, only 146,311,000 people registered to vote for the presidential election. This is significantly lower than the estimated US population during 2012, which was 313,900,000. These figures tell us that only 46% of the total population engage in voting. The majority does not vote; there are several reasons that could explain this. One could be that the majority do not agree with the present government model and therefore do not participate. . https://www.google.com... . http://www.statisticbrain.com... 2. Grievances - The American economy is slowly taking a downturn. With more regulation, small businesses find it more difficult to start up and be sustainable. Large business slowly choose to go to other countries. This leaves people without jobs, and they must live on welfare or turn to crime. The undermining of the constitution and amendments is becoming greater as time passes. Each law that has limited the amendments decreases the freedom available. Laws that undermine the amendments and constitution can be seen as tyrannical as they attack the constitution and amendments. The police state is rising, and there is little accountability for unlawfully acting officers within internal affairs. 3. Symptoms of trouble - Protests are a regular occurrence now, and many are purposely shunned by the government and the media. For instance, large protests concerning the facts surrounding the 9/11 attacks have happened. Yet many people are unaware that these protests ever took place due to the little media coverage that they have received. Protests are a symptom of grievances that show people have underlying troubles. Trust in government plays a large role in causes for rebellion also. The trend seems to be that most people do not trust the U. S. Government. This gives light to how many people may participate in an active rebellion. . http://en.wikipedia.org... . http://www.gallup.com... . http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com... . http://truth-out.org... . http://www.people-press.org... (b) Means: 1. Technology - Privacy technology has increased, allowing common people to store files securely, and communicate securely via computers and handheld smart devices. These communications can greatly aid in keeping meetings and communications secure during a rebellion. . http://bit.ly... . http://bit.ly... . http://en.wikipedia.org... (for some reason, DdO didn't post the original links to those Wikipedia articles correctly, so I made Bitly links for them) 2. Non-monitored locations - Although more and more places have surveillance, there are still locations where people can meet without fear of being monitored. The outskirts of towns are abundant with areas that are relatively unoccupied. The centers within large parks could also be used. Participants can take out the batteries of any smart devices prior to meeting to further ensure privacy. 3. Weapons - the United States of America is ranked 1st in civilian gun ownership ratio per 100, and ranked overall as having the most civilian owned firearms in the world with 270,000,000 estimated civilian owned small arms. The United States is 1st in ratios with 89 guns per 100 people. . http://www.smallarmssurvey.org... 4. Logistics of ammunition - There is a substantial amount of ammo that is in possession of the people, or nearby that can be acquired from stores. Aside from this fact, the United States is ranked among the top 15 countries in the world for ammunition production. Annual World production of small arms ammunition float around 16 billion rounds, and can go up to 21 billion rounds. An estimated 39% of this is produced in America. It's reasonable to assume that some of these production facilities would either support a rebellion or be captured by the rebelling common man army. . http://www.smallarmssurvey.org... . http://www.smallarmssurvey.org... 5. Education level and knowledge - Education standards have rose, which makes people overall better at reading, comprehending, and critical thinking. With this, the ability to follow instructions naturally follow. There are ample information sources available on the internet that give instruction on how to produce home made binary explosives such as ANFO. There are further instructions on how to make detonating devices. With better knowledge and comprehending abilities, it's within the general populations grasps to effectively organize and fight. 6. State secession - It is probable that numerous states will secede in the event of large public cry for revolution. When a state does secede, they would then provide great organizational means and resources for the rebelling forces. This is outlined in James Madison's federalist paper #46. . http://en.wikipedia.org... 7. Foreign response - Some foreign countries may have a vested interest in seeing the United States Federal Government overturned. It's highly probable that these countries would supply military grade weapons to rebelling forces, ammunition and other supplies. If the federal government chooses to use deadly force against rebelling forces, there may be direct consequences from foreign countries who may assist rebelling forces with troops. This is very similar to the United States itself supplying funding and supplies, training, and sometimes even troops to rebels in foreign countries. . http://www.foxnews.com... Thank you again for this debate, and I eagerly await your initial argument.
