    That’s exactly the argument that conservatives always give for gun ownership. But like, how would they possibly overrun the largest military in the world with their personal arsenals?

    Maybe they could take a city but I can’t see it being a long lasting victory.

      Insurgent forces are always scary. They know where to hide and they get creative with weaponry. This isn’t the revolutionary war with people marching side by side taking shots at the other side.

      Besides, that’s assuming the military is 100% cohesive in war operations inside this country and against other Americans.

      Oh, and ignoring that it might just be the conservatives in power that would be the aggressor and the rest defending themselves from fascists.

      This is the meal team six we’re talking about lol. One of them would pull out a gun, get shot, then the others would give up right there to go back watching their fox news and drinking diet coke.

      The biggest military in the world seems to have trouble with insurgents. See Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan.
