I've never understood this. What kind of sucker thinks that he will ever be able to take up arms against the government of the United States? The US has, by far, the most powerful military in the world. Explain to me how you are going to fight a M1 tank or an F35 jet with your Desert Eagle.

Lets say that a group of 10,000 armed citizens decides to take over the government. That is an extremely generous number. I would say that even local and state police could put down that kind of rebellion. And if it ever got out of hand, then a single bomb from above could easily take the fight out of the mob.

Comment: How do you plan on handling the political "game" (Score 4, Interesting) 245

I like the concept of taking direction directly from the will of your constituents, but how do you plan on handling...politics? More specifically, when the party needs votes and deals have been made, how will you stand up to the leadership and refuse to take part? Will that not render you an outsider and remove valuable (perhaps necessary) political clout? It seems like the Washington political machine is incompatible with direct democracy.

A penny saved is ridiculous.
