Government Tyranny
With the gun debate so hot and heavy these days, the topic of fear of government tryanny has been tossed around a lot.
I don't trust the US government at all but I also don't see the government using guns against us. I think the government already controls the citizens of the US via money and that if total control were to happen it would come without a shot fired. I think those in power would simply make us more and more powerless by taking away our ability to feed our families and survive.
Do you think an armed conflict with your government is a real possibility? If yes, how and why?

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.With my government? No. We in the UK prefer to reserve military force for our foreign enemies.
In the USA, the entire argument is stupid. The civilian populace is armed with pseudo-assault rifles, handguns and the odd shotgun. A ruthless military is armed with some of the finest fighter jets in the world, drones, tanks, AFVs and around two million highly trained personnel. The civiliam populace would lose. Badly.
In addition, a ruthless bastard in government who actually wanted to enforce tyranny would be ousted... by the military.

It has happened. There are numerous examples of the US government repressing civil liberties by force. The union movement is a perfect example.

@Gatovicolo Joan Baez sang a song about Joe Hill
@Gatovicolo I'd like to put Joe Hill's last poem to music. I wonder if anyone else has?
I doubt it, but I’d like to hear the song. @twill
I’m not surprised @twill

Oh not the gospel according to Al Fayed again ffs. Yes I have seen the documentary with all the D list celebs singing his tune. If it was all that, then why won't they show it? I will tell you why, legal reasons. In other words, he would get his arse sued off. All it proved was don`t let grieving relatives anywhere near the justice system. There was a full inquest (at tax payers expense) that dealt with this guilt trip. I say guilt trip because a, It was his pilled and drunk employee that was driving and b, If all those Diana worshipers had not bought any rag that had her pic on it then no paparazzi and no speeding car. If they were both that worried then why 85 mph in a built up area and no fucking seat belt on. Did they think they were above the law or bloody immortal?
