Chilling scenario, yet one I have thought about many times. I suspect many of us have had the same thoughts. Only the number of people who “resist” is subject to debate. I say 90 million gun owners, after all the BS from the government I figure 15%-20% refuse to comply and actively fight back; that is 15-18 million people. What government can stand up to that many people? Many as you stated have military training, some at true “operator” levels. And I suspect there are many caches of “equipment” hidden throughout this country.
The rest of what you suggest might happen will be needed. And in the end, we will have to live with what we have done, but I think I can do that. I just don’t want my daughter to have to face those choices.
We feel the number of fighters will increase as the fight goes on and the number of police will decrease due to wives and families demanding they not go.
Half the nation thinks of blue helmets ass being targets so they are not a problem.
Donald Trump is our last resort.
