Probably the most ubiquitous, lamest, dumbest argument of the NRA. Even if you had to keep the government "in their place" (laughable), your "assault rifles" would be no match for the superior firepower of our military (fighter jets, helicopters, missiles, bombs, etc.). Just ask Iraq during Desert Storm.... And an FYI, I firmly believe in the right to bear arms, just not in the NRA.

The number of weapons in the arms of private citizens is the number 1 reason why we have not been invaded, whether it be a foreign or domestic government.
