Further, if we today rose in arms against the government, who has the most fire power? Unless something radical happens, and the people on the government side agree with the people, the only way to beat the government in armed conflict is by guerilla means. As you well know, in the eyes of some people that makes the people terrorists. I can think of another group that fits this bill perfectly, the founding fathers of the USA. Often times, people in power use force to protect that power. In that event, the force must be met with force when peaceful change is no longer possible. The greatest firepower argument assumes that the fight is not for freedom, but only for someone else's personal power.
