Heaven knows our military has a problem with a few thousand, poor as shit Arabs and their cheaply produced IEDs.
Bringing the "we must have the power to overthrow oppressive regimes" argument is a dangerous one. First of all, it makes you seem like a paranoid anarchist. Second of all, if you truly have wide popular support (imo the only means of justifying overthrowing a government) you're going to succeed in overthrowing the government if the drive is strong enough, regardless of what weapons you have available. Third of all, our government operates on the principle of peaceful transition of power, it's what makes us civilized, and distinguishes us from radicals. Don't get started talking about the need to protect ourselves from tyranny when a revolution is not likely to happen anytime soon. It makes you seem bloodthirsty and Seditious.
