100 million who are not as well armed as those guys were, and who would face a much tougher fight than those guys did.

You must have have had a really bad history teacher because the south was winning that war for the first half so where do you get 'having their asses handed to them'?

Well, our flag doesn't have a blue X on it. That's one big clue

It wouldn't be very long before the 'uprisers' were similarly armed. Do you think we'd just leave that equipment alone? The government WOULD have to face us on even terms eventually.

Nope. Sorry, that just doesn't fly. Even if we get hold of a bomber, how are we going to fly it? And then we'll have to get hold of fighters to protect the bomber from their fighters, and we're gonna have to learn to fly those. An uprising against the government was feasible (and still didn't work) in the 17 and 1800's, but the technology is just too advanced at this point.

I find it amusing that you have to resort to the 'nonsensical, quasi-paranoid' title like all others who can't defeat the good logical argument.

If you presented me with a good, logical argument, I would try to defeat it. I have not yet gotten that opportunity.
