I always hear about this notion that owning weapons in the USA is for "overthrowing the government" if needed. I find it hilarious.

Does anyone really think the population could overthrow the government without support of the military? Imagine a bunch of guys carrying assault rifles and marching towards the white house... without the support of the military they would get immediately flattened by artillery or a plane bomber or something.

If, on the other hand you have the support of the military, you don't need the assault rifles to overthrow the government.

In either case, I don't really see how assault rifles help you overthrow the government.
