Love this argument from clueless libscum. "You can't revolt against the United States military!!!" It comes up every time there's a gun control thread, without failure.
What you fail to account for is the vast majority of the people in that military are the ones who would side against a tyrannical government.
They would be the revolutionaries. Last time I checked, tanks and planes don't drive themselves. Our soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines took an oath to defend
The Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic. They didn't take any oath to defend a corrupt, illegal government against their families and their own best interests. Support for civilian arms is very high in the military.
But you're such a dumbass you don't even realize the most obvious truth about all this: actual armed revolt isn't even necessary, and it's not the main purpose of the 2A. Merely
the potential of armed resistance is enough, in most cases, to keep tyranny at bay. If the basest motive of government is to continuously amass power over the people, then tyranny is inevitable unless the people retain the ultimate reset button: revolution. The existence of an
armed, trained, and willing populace is very effective (if imperfect) at moderating government's power.
