Ain't that the truth. Even the militia and white-supremist groups seem completely useless, as usual (every now and then I wonder if such groups aren't a deliberate creation to divert dissaffected white people's attention). ON THE OTHER HAND, one does't need huge numbers of people wielding baseball bats...there're probably a small number of paper-pushers that file or serve certain papers or otherwise interact with the outside world. All one would need is a few dozen incidents applied at the correct interface to greatly inhibit things... -TD

No, it would not. But then, this is the United States, land of the "Big Fucking Mouth" - not the "Land Of Action" we so desperately want to be perceived as.
Since the real chances of the populace "rising up" is just shy of zero, don't go looking for changes any time soon. Or, for that matter, any time in the far future either.

'The right of self defence is the first law of nature: in most governments it has been the study of rulers to confine this right within the narrowest limits possible. Wherever standing armies are kept up, and the right of the people to keep and bear arms is, under any colour or pretext whatsoever, prohibited, liberty, if not already annihilated, is on the brink of destruction.'
