first off, the claims and arguments that there is no civilian force on this earth that could possibly beat the military might of the US government is patently false. Not only does it discount the will of people, it also throws the advantage of numbers out the window for people that choose to believe otherwise.

I repeat, it would only take 10% of the population of this country to take up arms and the government would crumble.

The military numbers around 4 million, at most, maybe 5 million when you include national guard AND all law enforcement personnel in the mix.

10% of the population, of capable combat status, would number around 13 million to 18 million, and thats not including women. If you take women in to the account, you now have more than 20 million people, armed.

Those who think that one unit with tanks would wipe out that entire force, think again. Explosives work wonders. There are ways to not only defeat tanks, but also to use them afterwards. There are thousands of ex military types out there who know how to fix tanks, fly planes, make explosive ordnance, and all of them would be willing to put that knowledge and skill to use for freedom from tyranny.

Do not underistimate the will and might of an armed civilian force. The British did...twice.
