So it seems reasonable to me that we (the country, not the thread) debate the appropriate balance.

It is very unlikely bombers are ever going to take over the country. They could in the very worst case do some damage onetime.

On the other hand, if brownshirts take over, like they did in Nazi Germany, Stalinist Russia, Red Guard China, whatever in North Korea, fundamentalist Iran - its not that easy to get rid of them. Its not a mushroom cloud, but its probably far worse.
