Poll: 29% Think Armed Rebellion Might Soon Be NecessaryOh, good grief. Give me a break. "Necessary"? Any word on whether they think this contemplated armed rebellion might be possible?
Three in 10 registered American voters believe an armed rebellion might be necessary in the next few years, according to the results of a staggering poll released Wednesday by Fairleigh Dickinson University’s PublicMind.

The survey, aimed at measuring public attitudes toward gun issues, found that 29 percent of Americans agree with the statement, “In the next few years, an armed revolution might be necessary in order to protect our liberties.” An additional five percent were unsure.
Eighteen percent of Democrats said an armed revolt “might be necessary,” as compared to 27 percent of independents and 44 percent of Republicans. Support levels were similar among males and females but higher among less educated voters.

It seems highly likely to me that the US military will continue to follow the president's orders, and any president... including this one... will order any armed rebellion put down, and the US military will not be defeated by a disorganized group of middle-aged fat balding men toting their rifles of which they are so proud. Sorry, guys, it ain't gonna happen! Give it up before you end up looking really, really stupid, not to mention really dead. There may be armed groups in the world that could defeat some units of the US Army under certain limited circumstances... but frankly, you aren't among them. The first crowd control vehicle deployed would send you packing forthwith. Take your toys and go home before you hurt someone, most likely yourself.
