Who the hell says the military would be on the side of gov't should it come down to that?
This country has more weapons in private possession than most countries in the world.
Who the hell says the military would support the Cliven Bundy Irregulars?
Hopeful fake-constitutionalists, that's who.
Idealists, naive persons who think that the Confederacy was fueled by a desire to defend their homes.
The Confederate Army collapsed in 1861, something these people don't know anything about, Jefferson Davis instituted a Draft, and sent out loyalilsts called the "Home Guard" to force people into the Confederate Army or "Hang them on the spot" if they refused.
This homeguard never saw front line battle, they became the scoundrels of the Confederacy, if you didn't want to fight in the Confederate Army, you joined the Homeguard and bullied others to fight for you, and for the Slave owners.
These people have no idea how militaries actually work, how force works, how governments coerce people.
They have no clue what war actually does.
So they believe fantasies like a single-action rifle will defend freedom from a tyrannical government armed with 2,000 pound bombs falling from robotic drones.
