And that was WITHOUT the army getting involved.
Ya know it's almost like these guys are all talk and no action. That having the guns to make them feel "safe" is really more about the image of having the guns than actually being organized enough, dare I say "well regulated" enough, to fight back. Thinking that if they had a big enough stockpile they could overthrow the big, bad government whenever they wanted to. Instead they carried signs and then went home.
Strange.
If 1,000 people (including women and children) tried to take on the government in attempted hostile, violent revolution of course they would all be killed or imprisoned. A revolution would be more about resisting (Vietnam or Iraq style) and less about defeating the world's all-time biggest super power government and military.
And I'm pretty sure their plan was to protest and honk their car horns and not stage a coup anyways
