The Iranian people should have absolutely no problems securing weapons to fight the Iranian government with. God knows the Iraqis will sell them some, so will the Egyptians, the Pakistanis, the Kurds (who conduct operations in and from northern Iran across borders), probably the Afghanis, and maybe even some Israeli arms brokers who want to see Ahmedinajad take it up the ass. If they want guns they will find some.
If they will mass murder if the highly trained soldiers of the United States Military interfered, how do you think they would react if the Iranians themselves have guns? Either way, there would be a mass murder.
The only person who can actually take Ahmadinejad down is "The Shark". If you don't know who that is, research him.
Rafsanjani's kept a really low profile so far though. The only reason any of this is even happening is because there's a split in the Iranian elite. If Mousavi didn't have other Iranian elites on his side he wouldn't be making these bold moves and encouraging demonstrations. If Rafasanjani or Khatami are really going to make any serious moves against Khameini they should do it soon before the people lose momentum and the will to fight. Otherwise they're going to end up brokering some backroom deals where they get better positions/pay, get assassinated, or exiled and the people get shafted again. Which is why they should arm themselves.
If the Iranian people take up arms it's still harder for those soldiers to fire on them than if the American's are involved. Besides, the rhetoric coming out of Iran is that Britain is the enemy now. Quite interesting actually, the Iranian and British diplomats getting banished from their respective posts for "British meddling". Khameini is grasping for straws with that one. But notice how it has to be some other power meddling in Iran's internal affairs? That's the justification for violence, not killing Iranian people. If it's just the Iranian people, the government becomes tyrannical and the people are justified in their struggle, which might turn some soldiers away from the fight. But they need direction, and arms, and they need them soon. Otherwise we're looking at another Burma.
