Irate: It's not necessarily a matter of a citizen's militia waging battle against a tyrannically controlled military. When I think of gun ownership as relates to the security of a free state, I think of the impossibility of the US Army maintaining a martial law-style occupation over the whole of America, moreso when armed citizens are taken into account.
Factor in the occassional soldier who does not have the stomach to fire on his own countrymen, the government is restricted from enacting any sort of totalitarian fascist regime.
