or if deputized as agents of federal law enforcement? And remember, we're talking about defending against a "tyrannical government". By definition they probably aren't going to be too concerned with your protestations of tactics or boundaries.

Not really. I try to think deeper about scenarios like the ones put forth about defending against a tyrannical government. Maybe others should try it.
Would that be your opinion if Washinton viewed an armed NRA convention or Tea Party rally as an insurrection?

Exactly. My point exactly. So why do people bring up "defending against a tyrannical government?"

Is either one of those groups calling for the violent over throw of the U.S. Government?
See, you just have to think it out a little more than 2 seconds.

I didn't.
Sometimes, I think they might be.

I won't bother posting their quotes. They're all over.
People who are up romo hood will find a way to cause havoc and kill, using whatever method they can. You could take away every gun that was ever made, and these people would still find a way to kill. The only difference is that the victims wouldn't have a way to defend themselves. The police aren't going to defend us, they will simply try to find out who did it after the fact. I don't want to stand by helplessly while my wife and daughters are raped and murdered. If someone attacks, I want to be able to defend them.
It's the people who are at fault, not the weapons.
Kmart sux. So does Walmart. And Orion.
I would like to see quotes about the NRA or the tea party threatening the armed overthrow of our nation. I don't believe this has happened, other than possibly a fee crackpots speaking for themselves.

Going house to house to confiscate guns is not a local or national emergency.
Who ever came up with that goofy idea anyway?

No, it's not, but providing security during a crippling Ice Storm (1998) would certainly qualify.

Then again the U.S. troops under the direction of our wonderful politicians don't exactly have a great track record of "winning" wars ever since WWII. I'm not blaming the troops. The politicians are good at getting them started- bringing in a lot of equipment- destroying a lot of infrastructure - puffing out their chests and slowly backing away from the situation (after the US taxpayers have paid to have all the infrastructure rebuilt). If the government waged war against its citizens the way they have other countries the citizens would eventually come out on top.

"Those were national guard troops called out to quell a riot/protest by a governor. As allowed by law.

"Washington called out troops to defend itself from possible insurrection. A reasonable use of troops IMHO.
