:P 

This is somewhat true, but nonetheless that's why there is the argument over citizens being allowed to have military grade weapons. Personally..I think that if you are part of an organized militia that has proper training/background checks..etc. You should be allowed to carry whatever you want. 

"A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."

Also..if the USA Government ever did something truly tyrannical..I would not be surprised to see a lot of deserters/turncoats in our military. The American military very strongly identifies with the rights of the people and constitution. A helluva lot more than Congress.
