Well, it was more a general question aimed at someone who doesn't believe we should be armed. It was actually directed towards Stompy.

And while the average American doesn't have access to milspec weaponry, I still think the comparison stands. It's extremely hard to root out resistance when it's hidden within a civilian population, no matter how well they're armed.

I also think it's safe to assume that any kind of action that would result in citizens defending themselves from American soldiers would also have soldiers in it that don't want to fire upon civilians. In that context it's entirely plausible that milspec weaponry would be placed in civilian hands.

Again, this is a purely hypothetical situation. But still a fun one to debate.
