Violent revolution puts violent people in charge. You're going to just shoot the government with your gun? I think not. Especially not the American government - you'll be blown to bits by a robot. A proper revolution has the military on the side of the people. Join the military if you want to protect your people from oppressive government - that's what it's for. Non-violent revolution is also possible - why is that never considered by National Assault Rifle Association members?
Take a look at Yemen's attempt at non-violent revolution during the "Arab Spring". Yemen is the only country that has more guns per capita than us. What you saw were government loyalists sniping peaceful protestors from rooftops. The same in Bahrain. I worry about National Assault Rifle Association members on rooftops sniping me when it comes time for revolution.
Beat your swords into plowshares.
