Historically the military in our country comes to protect the civilians when the local government fails. The cases of our own military attacking our own citizens are thankfully rare, but almost always end in bloodshed. You're far more likely to need a firearm to protect yourself against the police than the military and far more likely to need to protect yourself against your fellow citizens than the police. I'm fairly liberal but there's an important reason the founders added the 2nd Amendment. I just wish there was more outrage when the other Amendments were trampled upon.
