Why? It was the state of mind of the people, not a state of their armament, that led to and allowed, yes, allowed virtually all those examples to exist.

Many of those leaders rose to power and were welcomed with open arms by their own people. They didn't pop up overnight by some hostile take over that could have been prevented by any 'well armed private militia'.

Oh, OK, well, let's say they turned 'bad' (!?!) after they came to power and had the military in their full control,,,

As any good terrorist in the Middle East will tell ya,,, Assault rifles, multi round clips,,, they will only get you so far against an organized Military,,, They certainly won't overthrow the air support, armor, or technology that exists en masse today.

We no longer live in a world where governments are removed/formed by taking everyone to an open field, 'musket vs musket', where the last man standing 'won',,, The type of world that existed back when the 2nd amendment was written.

Today, all the assault rifles/clips/ammo in the world aren't going to overturn a government.

But, if a dozen AK's and 50,000 rounds of ammo in your 'bunker' makes ya sleep better, who am I to say you're dreaming?

I think that that is the point, It looks like this country is welcoming Communism and Socialism to take over. As long as Obamaclause keeps handing out free gifts
to the majority we are being transformed into the very thing that Our fathers, Grandfathers and Greatgrandfathers fought and gave their lives to prevent. Losing our right to defend ourselves and our families against a Tyrannical Government is not something that should happen. SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED! Yeah, They have big weapons but I believe there is a resistance within the military, they are our brothers, mothers, fathers and so on. Who knows, best to be prepared even if its just spitting in the wind. The president is just a post turtle, "You know he didn't get up there by himself, he doesn't belong up there, he doesn't know what to do while he's up there, he's elevated beyond his ability to function, and you just Wonder what kind of dumb ass put him up there to begin with."
