33. "government should fear it's people"
You're right but a bunch of amateur gun owners aren't going to scare "the government"... "The government" has enough firepower to take care of a bunch of untrained gun nuts.

Bodies in the streets and general strikes are what scare governments (and their capitalist masters). The withdrawal of consent from the governed is what government fears.

That's why the most effective tactics have been made illegal in this country -- "free speech zones" and Taft-Hartley...
