Sometimes I think Thomas Jefferson should be A Great Dude in History...

"The beauty of the 2nd Amendment is that it won't ever be an issue unless a tyrannical government takes it away from the People."

- Thomas Jefferson

"I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them."

- Thomas Jefferson

So, any examples of unsuccessful exterminations because people owned guns?  For some reason I can't see an individual holed up in a house being able to fend off an entire government with a shotgun. I'm thinking it would take a revolution. Then I look and Siria and think... nah, that ain't working out too peacefully. But maybe I'm uninformed and uneducated (...not a history buff).

No, you are correct, Mang; "an individual holed up in a house being able to fend off an entire government with a shotgun" would stand little chance of doing so, BUT...

"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."

...A well regulated militia would have a good chance, if armed, as referenced in the Second Amendment. Although, "A well regulated militia" that has been disarmed would stand no chance either. It takes both.
