That sounds ridiculous and totally not feasible in this day and age.
I doubt a group of rednecks could topple the American government.

Not exactly the most suitable weapon for carrying out massacres though is it? If you have one with a big enough draw weight to kill someone then it's going to be a bitch to reload each time.
Should guns be outlawed in America?
NO! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6dxm_W3uNYw
They are a lot of fun, I would love to have my own gun and the land to use it, but they are only fun in responsible hands. There are far too many idiots out there who would use them for armed robbery, murders, or even worse, massacres. I don't think guns should be outlawed at all, but they do need tighter restrictions. Police need to dig deep into their past and they should require some kind of training and assessment too. Restrictions should be tighter for more powerful and fully automatic weapons. I'm just guessing at the moment, I don't live in America and these laws might already be in place, but if they aren't, they should be.
The UK and most of the world need to ease up on their gun laws.
