Well, I will tell you govt. always get the ruling they want and the leaders don't really care if everyone protests as they will still do what they want. Federal govt. is even tyrannical towards states like Arizona for instance.
Actually you hit the nail on the head.
Lets look at armed uprisings against the us government - whiskey rebellion, civil war, Indian rebellions (both new and old), black panthers, weather underground and sla, randy weaver, Waco. I'm not seeing a lot of success here or the bettering of any situations.
Lets look at some of us histories major changes - even constitutional changes. Civil rights movement, women suffrage, gay rights movement. These have created massive changes in society and even constitutional law and for the most part were done with little or no violence.
I'm no hippie peacenik, but simply a student of history.
