Examples like these is what makes me question the fairy tale that a well-armed citizenry can defeat its own oppressive government. I think the 2nd amendment is most useful for home and self-defense against common criminals, but IMO it's next to useless in fighting your own government. It didn't work out too well for the South, did it?
