You make some good counter arguments but to be realistic, other than the political fallout, what group armed with fully automatic weapons is going to have a snowballs chance in a second civil war? Waco would be nothing if some militia group decided to proclaim the "untited States of Texas" and try to succeed by force. I would simply be launching out a 6 ship of B-52s and 1 hour later there would be a crater where the group used to be. I know I am over stating the point but I am just trying to make the point as clear as possible.

The civil war was before M-1 tanks, Apache Helicopters, Heavy bombers etc. What chance would a private army have against today's modern military or is the NRA going to claim they need tanks too? <ggg>

If I were a jew in Warsaw, I would not want a .25 cal, I would want a .45, 10 Mag or What I own personally now, my own Desert Eagle (Yes I know it is considered an assault weapon because it weighs too much and is semi auto and small) Defence requires quick effecient knock down, not a .25 cal that allows the other guy to squeeze off a few rounds after being hit.

Good Luck and trade safe this week, it should be interesting,

Lee
