Do you think that Americans would be able to 'rise up' against the government just because they have a couple of pansy ass rifles?
Yes, because our military is part of the citizenry and not some elite social class. It would be a lot more difficult for them to turn on us.

And your other comment about China, not having the right to bear arms and being such a bad place. I'm very sure there is a family of Chinese peasants thinking somewhere:
"You know, we barely have the basic neccesities for living, and we can't speak out against the government that is constantly screwing with our livliehood, but if we just were able to shoot a few pheasents once in a while, we'd be happy."
No, probably not. But, I bet if they were able to defend themselves before the tyranny kicked in, they wouldn't have those other problems.
