lol, it is impossible for the government to take complete control of the country as long as its citizens are armed and resisting. Esp since we have a citizen military, and the only troops and resources available to the government would be those of other highly motivated people with the same goals. If the citizenry isn't armed though, it would be very possible for the government to take control of the country.
Sure, it isn't the 18th century...neither was 1938. The need for a people to be armed to ensure their own freedom has not changed through history.
