I think many people would like to think the possibility of an invasion of US soil isn't possible, but it is and always will be. 

It's certainly a deterrent, even if the Yamamoto quote about "rifle behind every blade of grass" is apocryphal.  Even if we're not talking about a large scale invasion, uprising, etc. the idea that the government should have a monopoly on the means of self defense is anathema to me.  A law abiding citizen presents n threat to anyone, and everyone deserves to be considered a law abiding citizen until they prove otherwise.  The "pre-crime" ideas of some on the left really bother me.  Everyone is not a potential criminal despite the oft repeated mantra of , "they were a law abiding citizen until they weren't."
