2 points:
1. A coup is always possible ---even America. When Nixon was threatened with impeachment and no one knew what he was going to do, the Attorney General, some would say in contravention of the constitution, told the Pentagon (the SecDef and the Joint Chiefs ((just in case the SecDef went along with Nixon)) to check first with him (the attorney general) concerning all orders from Nixon for the deployment of troops either in the continental U.S. or overseas.

2. Kent State: Amercian national guard forces fired on , and killed, American college students who were protesting the Vietnam war, AND THEY WERE PROTESTING WITHOUT AWEAPONS. I personally trained a riot control company of regular Army troops that was ready to use force against US citizens demonstrating against the Vietnam wAR, if those demonstrations became violent.

Yes, I believe in the right to bear arms and the right to bear those arms in defense of the constitutiion. However, after the rebellion, it is the winners who will determine what was patriotism and what was treason. Scary, --huh?!
