Tyrannical government has always been the problem, it's a never ending story.
America is experiencing tyrannical government expansion right now.
That is why gun sales are so high all over the country. The people are getting ready, not to attack...but to protect.
If Hillary Clinton crams gun controls through a United Nations treaty in opposition to the US Constitution she will become the Jane Fonda of this generation.
That isn't a place I think any intelligent person would want to be. Jane Fonda was a traitor and is probably one of the most hated people in America for giving aid and comfort to the Viet Cong, when America was at war in Viet Nam. All the Vietnam vets call her Hanoi Jane, and hate her, the spit on her, and curse her publicly even today. She did that 50 years ago, and the only thing that saved her from being prosecuted as a war criminal was the tremendous influence of her father, Henry Fonda. A man that all America loved.

Or to put it another way, she disagreed with her goverment's decision and did something about it. Just like you're proposing if necessary.
It amazes me that you can imagine the entire gun owning fraternity of the US rising up as a well organised counter-government force. You'd be reduced to small pockets of resistance blown out of existence either by the military or by the pro-government gun owning private militia.

Perhaps my cynical humour passed you by. Some cattle are ungulates. To make it easier I should have said that I voted but my political views are irrelevant save for on this one issue.
