And our country can call on our militaries. Do you honestly believe that the average citizen with a rifle would stand a chance against our SF? A group of a hundred overweight dudes who play militia on the weekends would be brought low by a squad or two of marines. Hell, a couple of National Guardsmen. Put some rifles in Air Force AC repairmen's hands and they are STILL better trained and equipped. If you think your arsenal gives you ANY protection against our government, you're crazier than I imagined.

And Merc, while I do agree that it's ridiculous to assume we're anywhere near Saddam in OUR actions, it should be pointed out that all the insurgents and terrorists running around now are certainly just as bad if not worse. And also, we do take people from their families on slim evidence. We do give them back, but they're bruised, maybe a little bloody. We do tell the medical examiners to sign two admittance forms in case the prisoners receive some accidental injuries.
