A million Cleeti hiding in the woods taking pot-shots at troop movements will cause a bit of trouble. Especially considering that kevlar body armor is about as effective as a thick sweater against many hunting rounds. There are only so much ballistic ceramic plate available.

Probably because "they" are traditionally more in agreement with the Repulican half of the Twoparty. And someone likely enough to see the OMG TERRORZ! schtick as a replacement for the War on Some Drugs as a pretext for the erosion of rights is probably not the type to have a basement arsenal... or the type to break it out and march on Washington unless they start shooting first.
