1) No, but they _do_ know how to follow orders, particularly when they feel that right is on their side. When citizens are engaging in armed insurrection against the government, they won't get much sympathy.
2) If the citizens are armed and ready to fire on them, enough. You wanna go first?
3) I have no idea what you mean by that. The armed forces have FAR superior weaponry to anything to which the general public has access.
Or are there liberal armories with assault weapons, attack helicopters and such that I haven't been told about yet?
