I would not worry too much about a revolution.  Most of those gun toting NRA
types have car and house payments and do not want to jeopardize watching
some silly mind numbing sport on their big screen TV.  Besides even the
local police have more and bigger guns than you do.

If there is a revolution it would best come from the people turning off the
TV and spending a little time teaching learning what reality is.  Instead of
listening to right wing talk radio or loud mouthed TV preachers, they should
read books that challenge their world view, read something beside the
garbage magazines at the check out counter.

A quiet revolution would have people growing food and rediscovering real
taste then demanding that stores sell real food.  A quiet revolution would
have them worry less about the latest celebrity antics and more about why
John McCain cannot even read a teleprompter.  A quiet revolution would have
people demand that newspapers report real news and not waste time on the
latest smear ad.  That is what we need, not more screaming past each other
about.  

I could go on.
