You don't have to take the entire military. You just have to have a critical mass of gun ownership that makes them too afraid to deploy. I know we have a whole propoganda ethos around this but our country doesn't actually mobilize against anyone with a proportional likelihood of shooting back.

    Yeah - and the non-GOP side of the political spectrum doesn't have that critical mass because the "left" side of the country disarmed itself.

    Yeah. Yeah they did. I spent the last decade trying to convince leftists that we need to back up civil rights with the risk of mortal violence but I'm pretty sure I convinced no one. Maybe there's a certain factor of wanting to be victimized by power, I don't know.
