The framers of the Constitution clearly meant to enable local militias to take over in the event of an invasion by hostile forces.
But what happens when the militias are fighting against the U.S. government? Who decides who the enemy is?
Modern weapons would probably entail many more civilian deaths due to crossfire, etc. than would have occurred in the early days of the United States.
There seems to me an inherent danger when the Book of Revelations is crossed with the the right to keep and bear arms, but is that the price of liberty?

MONTGOMERY, Ala. - The number of extremist groups in the United States exploded in 2009 as militias and other groups steeped in wild, antigovernment conspiracy theories exploited populist anger across the country and infiltrated the mainstream, according to a report issued today by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC).
Antigovernment "Patriot" groups - militias and other extremist organizations that see the federal government as their enemy - came roaring back to life over the past year after more than a decade out of the limelight.
The SPLC documented a 244 percent increase in the number of active Patriot groups in 2009. Their numbers grew from 149 groups in 2008 to 512 groups in 2009, an astonishing addition of 363 new groups in a single year. Militias - the paramilitary arm of the Patriot movement - were a major part of the increase, growing from 42 militias in 2008 to 127 in 2009.

Before I posted my vid I did a search on "Project Exodus" and then just on "Exodus" and it did not turn up your thread.
I will try to keep this subject alive this time as it deserves attention.
Thanks for your input.
