Because there are not 330 million armed individuals. In reality, there are a very few. And among that number, fewer still that wouldn’t cut and run. And a drone and an M-1 would stop pretty much anything.

Sad but true.

Explain Iraq and Afghanistan. And who exactly bought those 110 million firearms just since Mr. Obama won, a few dozen collectors? And the billions of rounds. There enough firearms in private hands to give two or three to everyone, including children. Look it up.

That is flat out wrong, friend. Approximately 1/3 of the American public are known to be legal gun owners. That's 100,000,000 people. It's also been estimated that they own approximately 300,000,000 firearms.

(for the folks in Rio Linda, those figures indicate millions)

In one recent three month period, Americans purchased enough firearms to outfit every soldier in China and India - combined.

Compare those numbers to the total number of U.S. troops under arms, which is about 1.5 million. In fact, the armed U.S. civilian population exceeds the number of armed troops of all the world's militaries combined.
