There will be no collective response. We are all on our own. In fact, the responses indicate exactly that.
The only way that anyone can expect any support is if their own small unit of family and close friends becomes involved.
Imagine if there are thousands of small, tightly knit, family based teams and neighborhoods scattered across the CONUS. Imagine that all these teams will have some "friendly" connections with other such groups in their area (force multiplication).
THAT is a collective response. One that will be much harder to infiltrate and or take down.
"The time for war has not yet come, but it will come and that soon, and when it does come, my advice is to draw the sword and throw away the scabbard." Gen. T.J. Jackson, March 1861
