I think we are agreeing with each other. I don't think that an armed populace is what would keep the military from taking sinister actions against us, it's their morality and sense of comradeship with civilians. That's why I think that any notion about arming people sufficiently to defend against an attack by the government is just hysterical fear- mongering...
Yes, the military is full of bright and dedicated people... similarly, the civilian government is also. These people are not our enemies, they are us. And while I may disagree with some of those bright & dedicated people, I will not be planning to take up arms against them.
In my opinion, the 2nd Amendment is a good idea, its intentions are fundamentally correct when it was written and in 2013. I just don't think that a few gun control measures erode it's protections or intent.
To me, the 'armed populace' argument doesn't have a good foundation in reality. After all, a 20 yr old recruit sitting in an underground bunker in Utah can bring a drone-fired missile to a pin point strike half the world away and never spill his coffee. Granting me the right to have military-style assault weapons could never make my family safe from that. But the fact that the 20 yr old has civilian parents, friends and family would.
