HO. I can understand why people might want to be armed
Let me guess: it has something to do with Muh Revolushun?
Now, now, where did you get this absurd idea I was a Tea Partier?
That seems to be a common line of argument among True Leftists (see Snowstalker and TNF's posts) so I just assumed you adopted it as well. Sorry if I was mistaken.
Well rebellion in modern America of either stripe would be super hard. The old joke about "yeah Tea Partiers old FaL's sure will help you defeat the guys with drones, F-14's, Abrams, and nukes
" applies just as well to leftist revolution.
Which is not to say it is impossible; this country was founded on rebellion against the strongest nation on Earth.
Don't underestimate the teabagger army of seniors in mobility scooters. They would destroy our military and occupy the capitol within a week.
