<<The guns we do own privately, aren't exactly the kind that would deter a military take over. And a military takeover >> false. The exact rifle used by our military snipers is the same as the model 700 Remington which can be bought by any American and the same or better tuning is available in the after market. <<And a military takeover would be phrased in such a way to appeal to the very people who own guns- they'd probably be on the side of the take over. It would probably be in the context of some great overarching threat to security,martial law declared, etc>> Perhaps there would be some, but a large % of the owners of firearms are Libertarians(or at least spelled with small "l" libertarians) which oppose almost everything done all government. There are even cases of environmental extremists (E.L.F.) shooting at loggers. cbsnews.com
