The people of Egypt, Syria, Libya among other nations have risen up in arms against their tyrannical governments.
We have supplied the "rebels" with weapons that help them fight their government forces.

"It can't happen here", right?
By "tyrannical government" are you referring to our government? If yes than no, that's not why we have the 2nd amendment. If we did then treason would be a constitutional right. It is not.
Now if by "tyrannical government" you mean the United States being invaded by one of the other countries that had a presence here, including the then super powers of France and Great Britain, well then in that case you may be right

This idea that if the Government became tyrannical you dont have the right to fight back is a joke..
Over a decade of war and billions of dollars later and the U.S. hasn't been able to win wars against people in third world countries.... and you people think they could take on the most well armed populace on Earth? People that at least half the military would refuse to fire upon?
