The way I look at the 80 Million gun owners is relatively simple math.
While I know that there is no way all 80 Million will fight I also know that even 1% of that 80 Million would mean 800,000 very ticked off Patriots fighting and a very large percentage of these fighters would be people like us who own Fighting Rifles and purchase ammo by the case.
800,000 Armed Fighters would decimate the forces that the Government could send against us.
There is one caveat, the Freedom Fighters are willing to do what is necessary to win and do not let morality or mercy get in the way.
And these 800,000 Fighters would not need to be in Militia Groups to win the war or even in any group, that many Fighters even operating as Lone Wolves would defeat the Enemy.
And as I see it the actually number of Fighters would be a lot greater then 1%.
800,000 or even a million fighting as 'individuals' pose NO threat to the other side. They would be merely an annoyance that would be silenced eventually. You can bet LARGE sums that the major media would NOT report on any sucessess by the individuals. Can't upset the sheeple after all.
We are all talking how our forefathers fought. Well the plain cold truth is the 'militia' had very few pure victories. Kings Mountain was the one main victory by militia. The rest of the war was fought and won by a mixture of militia and REGULAR ARMY units.
Until we can learn to put away our egos and can join together, we will just be an annoyance. Some of us can be larger than others, but still something that can be dealt with.
