If you're saying that most armed people are nut cases, I think you're wrong. 
Many or most vocal armed people are nut cases, but the last poll I saw 
showed at least half the houses had a firearm and ammunition somewhere in 
the house or garage. And that's self-reported, so all the people who don't 
want to admit it showed up as unarmed.

I think the evidence is ambivalent on that.

You know, this is the first time I've ever heard someone worried about a 
citizen coup of the government. Every person arming themselves I've ever 
heard of that has been worried about it has been arming themselves to 
protect the government from the officials, not to overthrow the government. 
I.e., to restore the constitution, not to overthrow the elected government. 
I think this is probably a new GOP nutcasism, just like the birthers.
