It&#x27;s not posturing, it&#x27;s fair warning.<p>Our adventures in the sandbox suggest your faith in our government&#x27;s ability to suppress armed rebellion is grossly excessive.  It also <i>had a secure rear area</i>.  You&#x27;re also assuming all the military will agree to this, despite what it&#x27;ll cost them.<p>I&#x27;m not alluding to anything, I&#x27;m frankly stating that, if you and yours succeed in this effort, me and mine will start killing you and yours (assuming you&#x27;re in the US, of course).  And if you think we&#x27;re limited to out &quot;paltry weapons&quot;. you suffer from an <i>extreme</i> lack of imagination.<p>We&#x27;ve been debating this since at least the 30s, and I&#x27;m (not very) sorry to say that your side has decisively lost the debate.  Sucks to be you, but <i>in balance</i> I like the result.
