A "well regulated militia" (part of the reason citizens have the right to bear arms but not all of it) must be capable of taking on the governmental army, or else it is pointless and ineffective against a possible dictator.

Don't you think it's a little unrealistic that a group of private citizens could oppose a government that controls the full power of the U.S. Armed Forces?
I just think citizen pressure through non-violent protest and civil disobedience is much more effective (and less bloody) tool in changing government policy.
