Somehow I don't think the framers of the constitution had AK-47's and nuclear weapons in mind when they spoke of the "right to bear arms."

Somehow I think the framers intended the right to bear arms DID intend for weapons such as AKs. The right was so that the citizens could resist government encroachment. If the government has full-auto then why would the citizenry be held to bolt action? Cant resist very well can you?

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?

Cuba was already stated. Russia the majority of the army and navy sided with the revolutionists. France the entire army sided with the revolutionists.

I just think citizen pressure through non-violent protest and civil disobedience is much more effective (and less bloody) tool in changing government policy.

It IS the best way, as long as the government is only semi-rough with them. Because you know, it worked so well against China//Algeria/etc when the government wasnt quite so friendly.
