No matter how many firearms laws are passed, criminals will always find away to get a firearm. Pass laws that affect the criminal, not laws that affect the law abiding citizen. Only those that obey the law to start with will obey any NEW firearm law, they aren't called criminals for obeying the laws and obeying our laws start at the top and work down. Hint, WH, Congress, SCOTUS and the rest of our leaders, local, state and Federal.

Find that the 1776 idea of a militia is very archaic when compared with realities in 2012.

I would also think that to take down a rogue element of the US government you would need tanks, missiles, and probably nuclear weapons. The weapons of war are so different now from the muskets, swords, tomahawks, clubs, knives, and cannons from the Revolutionary War.
