Like I said it was a different time then and the government had no better weapons than the general population. It would have worked then. There's little chance it would work today. It's also a double-edged sword. What if the country became, say, extremely liberal on social issues and heavily armed and overthrew the government and forced gay marriage and a vegetarian diet on everyone. How would you like that? Personally I don't trust the general population any more than I trust the government.
