To fight an force must be able to resupply, move, communicate, and shoot. Resupply from captured government ammo is a fantasy. All modern rebellions require outside supply. Movement, with modern surveillance is next to impossible. Secure communications will be extremely hard as the government will listen to everything you say. You might do some limited shooting but the lack of those other three will shut you down in a hurry.

Freepers will tell you that. The right-wing is all about FREEDOM.

Those Morans will then give you a list of dictators and claim they're ALL "left-wing".

Keeping in mind that they also believe Reagan won WWII which is where we fought WITH the Germans against the Soviet Union,....and he beat back the commies at the Wall and Pink Floyd honored him in their album.
