If half of them show up it is enough. Actually if ten percent decide to fight it would be enough. Remember one rebel can keep ten regular fighters tied up.
And there are those on the other side who will not show up.
A total gun confiscation is a nice leftist dream but unless they get a lot more numbers on their side it is not happening.
The lunatic who said they would "use nukes" was not far off from what would have to happen.
They can not shut down the street gangs who are far worse shots, fewer numbers and concentrated in a few areas. They are going to take on 1000 times that number spread out over the entire country? With who's army? China's? That might work. If they could get people to agree to letting China take over they might be able to do it.
Good points.
That’s right about one can hold up ten. Or more. A sniper can hold off a whole bunch.
One other thing to consider is 99% of combat vets are on our side and there’s a whole lot of able bodied combat vets. I’m almost 68 but I’m still a good shot and there are a lot of us.
