But the military won't take the side of the government in a gun turn in. The military is protecting us from all enemies, foreign and domestic. And if the government does something like that to blatently take away the rights of American citizens, especially on that grand scale (more guns than people in the US), no way in hell the military would kill its own people because in that case, the government is the domestic enemy.

So if the military would protect the people from the government, why do the people need guns?
