Of course they won't resort to that, mainly because the troops would
flatly refuse to carry out such orders.


then we dont need guns to protect us from govt if troops wont carry
out the order

But it could be an "alternate" army. As in the Army of Northern Aggression.

ah, well, then. that makes it OK


Or the existing army could be so depleted and/or engaged elsewhere that a
guerrilla army from Juarez, numbering (if you believe the press) several
tens of thousands decides to invade El Paso.

yeah i know. all the wetbacks coming to steal our corn, eh?
