The whole point of not disbanding the army is to gain control of all the lists and I mean pleural (people, equipment,arms, etc)and even then to continue paying the officers and men rather than send them packing unemployed into the streets and wilds where the will pick up their un divulged cashes of weapons and explosives and wait to use them to good effect. Fortunately or unfortunately we in the US keep excellent records with the FBI and ATF and Explosives regulatory agencies that if our government capitulated to a domestic or foreign enemy or a cabal of both as it usually is then they would gladly render the lists to save their (and families) skins. Iraqi muslims have quite substantial personal protection rights for heads of families in fact similar to the swiss and often with koran as a basis for the disarming of other populations muslim fathers must be armed preferably with a with a military grade weapon like and AK or Draganov. In Washington DC even the registered weapons, shotguns and muzzle loaders must be disassembled. We as a citizenry as long as the media conveys the perception that we will be "taken care of" we are likely to release our freedoms with a wimper rather than a sustained roar. Hopefully we will not face this situation in our life times but as a people we are definitely not ready for it.
