Agreed.  The idea that the military would, or even that it certainly will eventually, walk through the streets exterminating American civilians seems pretty insulting and far-fetched.  One of my coworkers was saying about being ready to fight to the death if/when the government comes to take his guns and I had to ask him when he pictures that happening, what exactly does he picture?  I'm not saying it won't or can't happen, but does he picture the military walking over the crest of the hill?  Are the local politicians there?  Is it handled by the police?

And would only add that even if there were enough like minded people to make a significant attempt at overthrowing the Gov't., how would they ever meet and organize without being noticed?  The only way that it was able to happen in The Civil War, was because mass communications and technology were not yet a thing.  

That's another scenario that seems rather grey to me.  Do we really have the right to overthrow the government?  From what I've seen people who take to arms against the government are labeled lone maniacs or fringe cults and killed or thrown in prison.  How does overthrowing the government occur and how will we be able to tell it from insane terroristic action?
