Exactly. The military is made up of civilians like you and I. If the government ever got out of control to the point that the people decided to rise up against them, it's a safe bet that a healthy portion of the military would be on the people's side, not the governments.

We're a long way from that, but threatening to take away people's guns would be a pretty big step in the wrong direction.
