I was trying to post something in this Reply where I kept getting that server error I've seen before. After diligent and scrupulous scientific fiddly farting around I discovered that apparently my use of "half" + "-" + "serious"
as one word was what triggered the error. Apparently this combination of characters was a no-no for the server. I cured the problem by changing that single hyphenated word into "halfway serious" and that got past the server blockage.

There's no guarantee that if the people had guns they'd side with the .gov. There's HUGE swaths of this world where organized crime is preferred by the normal folks to their government.
Some wit once published a halfway serious comparison between government and organized crime. Telling similarity: "They" (whichever) make the rules, you obey or get punished.
This could get interesting. I assume the gangs don't have fighter planes and modern radar surveillance systems. As they say, an AR is useless against an incoming rocket.
