a) Like the Romans said and still remains true to this day *Give them Bread and circuses* ie most of the populace couldnt care less what the governments are doing as long as they have the basic essentials and entertainment to keep them busy and occupied.
b) The 18th century was completely different in every way possible...it was musket against musket etc...the military has vast technology at their disposal...assuming they crack down on militias.Your guns wont do much against a tank.
Only two points but it sums up quite well why i think an uprising would never happen.Despite all the gun ho rhetoric on forums.

I understand where you are coming from but I believe you are making some very HUGE assumptions here.
First, that people aren't going hungry and seeing their families do so.
Second, you are assuming that the military (at least most of it) would follow orders to attack the civilians of this country that they are sworn to defend.
You see, I seriously doubt it would EVER happen to the scale you are thinking. This is from my own experience in and knowing the type of people that most of the soldiers are.

If you notice the responses by the committee, they were profiling the guy up til the end.......
Meanwhile, that same group doesn't realize that by their same exact responses, they were solidifying exactly the reason Johnson was there in the first place. By the committee being so far removed from the average American....
What a problem it will be eventually.
