Perhaps I missed it... but when did the BDs try to rise up against the government? They stockpiled because of their apocalyptic --and, sadly, prophetic-- belief that the government would attack them. That's hardling "rising up against" the government.Quite frankly, the idea of the citizenry rising up against the U.S. government with their handguns and assault rifles, and facing the military with these personal arms is absurd. The Branch Davidian tragedy at Waco, Texas, was one such futile attempt.
