It didn’t work. If the French hadn’t intervened, we would have likely lost. Who are we going call in for assistance this time? Who hates the US enough to send troops and arms?
Our only real hope would be if the majority of the US Armed Forces kicked in on our side.
Who do we call? Our 90 million gun-owning friends and neighbors, that's who.
American gun owners comprise the largest armed force on the planet. We dwarf the American military, which comprises roughly 1.5 million active duty personnel.
And yes - if push came to shove, most of them would side with the people.
I think a great number of US troops would sit this one out, or side with the patriots.
It would be “4th generation warfare” not a battle of numbers and better weapons. First rule of warfare identify your enemy....why take on an army when a dirty dozen is all that is necessary? No organization or communication required just several (or many) like minded individuals acting alone would be difficult to find and catch with no ties or connection to each other. How many are waiting for the first spark? How many recently trained snipers and IED veterans from the middle east are returning to this changed country and don't like what they see? The a$$ clowns inside the beltway are showing their utter ignorance and Utopian unrealistic idealistic “feelings” which will get trounced by reality.
An organized march on DC might give them a clue. Let the grabbers stand up to real American Patriots (wear american revolution costumes or camouflage) in person and tell them they want to take their guns. I'll be the old guy selling the Depends to the grabbers and other clueless liberal pu$$ies.
