Maybe this is the beginning of an answer (and I'm guessing I'm only half joking): First off even we assume that we should have access to weaponry that would let us "fight the army" it seems logical to assume that we're not talking about one person being able to fight the army. So the line is really drawn somewhere between the danger of a single persons firepower if (when?) a single person goes bat-shit crazy and the ability of many people's aggregate firepower to effectively combat the army. Somewhere in the middle there... (Of course all the "we've gotta be able to fight the army" arguments are bullshit. This imaginary delineation between "us" and the army has got to go: the army is "us". Do you think there will ever be a case when the entire non-enlisted citizenry will need to fight the entire enlisted segment? Any situation like that will split soldier and non-soldier alike. Even if it did happen all we, as citizens, need to do is join the army. Then when we're in, take their guns. Extra points if you say "Zoinks!" as you take them.)
