A Hammer Which We Use to Crush the Enemy

Ted Rall, 8/29/12:

Let's work out the options:

• Vote for the incumbent -- Denied
• Vote for the challenger who could actually win -- Denied
• Vote for another challenger -- Denied 
• Avoid the system entirely, to keep our perfectly clean hands still unblemished -- Plausible but Useless
• "Real Change"

So...is Rall talking there about what the other side would call "those good Second Amendment remedies?" The "real change" that grows, as Mao put it, out of the barrel of a gun?
