Sure. An important point people don't consider with the whole "How will a citizen with an assault rifle take on a military gunship helicopter?" argument...
A guy in the military who is "just following orders" may agree to round up unarmed citizens who are "Enemies of the State". When actually asked to kill those who resist I think a lot of them might rethink turning on their own neighbors. Just because the United States isn't oppressive in 2013 doesn't mean it won't be in 5 years, 10 years... What if the stock market went to zero tomorrow? Is everyone just going to drive to work like nothing happened?
