    The american citizens of the USA will never revolt, for 3 reasons.

    1. our police force is Brutal and efficent when it comes to riots.
    2. We have the best military in the world, making supplied militias absolutely outdated.
    3. There's no reason too. This is not a reason to go into mass protest there are several other reasons that might possibly spark outrage at most but when it comes to open rebellion, we love our way of life to much to jeopardize that.

    The only way an American revolt would happen is if the Military here had a reason or there was a goal to it, but as of now will just complain and protest instead of doing anything like the lazy assholes we are.

    This, plus the fact that most Americans believe that the system works. They trust that this will not be used to harm US citizens, and that if it were someone would be held accountable without violent rebellion.

    Being Irish and doing history I know internment has never worked and has really back fired.To be honest its 1 of the reason the N.I. situation and the War of Independence here.

    Kind of? It varies, but the police force hasn't been "fully utilized" since the 50s.
    MY HANDGUN WILL DEFEAT THE GREATEST MILITARY FORCE IN THE HISTORY OF MANKIND! FUCK YOU DOUBTERS!
    Not really. There's a string of reasons why you might want to start a Revolution. Or if your Hawaii, rebel.
