These inmates,though ringed with barbed wire and armed guards, were not murdered like those in Nazi camps. In June 1942, American flyers sank four Japanese aircraft carriers at Midway. Japan could not hit U.S. territory again, and these inmates were freed after the war. Some feel the government is all-powerful. Ordinary civilians outnumber these forces about 100 to one.
Size limits a government's power.
In short, if most Americans do not want to obey a law or an illegal government order and they own military-type rifles, no one can make them do so. When rioting erupted in Los Angeles in 1992, the police fled to avoid being overrun by mobs of looters. After the looters wrecked their neighborhoods, several days passed before the police returned, backed by Army and Marine troops. In short, civilians armed with military-type rifles, by weight of numbers if by nothing else, can at least cripple an attacking military force. Genocides can be prevented if civilians worldwide own military-type rifles and plenty of ammunition.
