Rocketman - you've been seeing too many Bruce Willis flix. The outcome of a gunfight over gun rights between US citizens and soldiers is pretty clear from Waco. Only a nut case would try it, and those nut cases surely had the means to make a fight. When push came to shove, our "fellow citizen soldiers" didn't hesitate.

In Iraq, the overwhelming majority of US casualties and fatalities are caused by IEDs and RPGs. AK47s don't perform well against modern armaments.

Fantasies about the 'armed citizen' taking on the army are just fantasies. Stick to shooting grouse and woodcock - they don't shoot back!
