DON WALKUP,
I agree with you; the gummint would declare an insurrection as the armed marchers got into DC, the area would be contained by tanks and troops and the "ticket out" would be the surrender of the marcher's gun (which would be later smashed and smelted on TV). The disarmed insurrectionists would be marched to a gulag in rural Maryland and "Process", tried and given felony sentences rendering them "Prohibited Persons" from future gun ownership.
The time for armed revolt is when they come door-to-door to seize guns. Before that time, peaceful demonstrations will at least show we tried to work within the system. If that fails, then as John Locke said, "When a government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the RIGHT of the PEOPLE to alter or abolish it."
Our Revolution of 1775 was an act of insurrection against the, then, legitimate gummint. The people were pushed too far and pushed back. We always have that right-it just does not have to be the first response.
