it's not an issue of whether or not the government will let us, dk. It's an issue of, even if we're allowed, we still can't do it. There's no law saying I can't go to the moon but it's not gonna happen either. As to whether the government will use tanks against us. . .Yes, they will. They have. Go watch file video of Waco. The ATF had a tank. If I recall it was a ramming tank, but it was a tank nonetheless.
I'm not even getting into the nuclear weapons or the 22 million dollar fighter planes. . .Let's just talk tanks. Only the most wealthy of us can afford the damned things, and the likelihood of them turning against the government is slim to none - it's very, very rare for people who are making incredible sums of money under the current government to revolt against that government.
That's why I find the "we need our guns to fight the big bad government" argument so laughable. It's a bullshit argument, because your guns aren't going to let you fight the big bad government any more than a paper towel will stop a flood.
