3% of American gun owners constitutes a force almost 3X as large as the largest standing army in the world. China's PLA. 3% of us. This is why all the hand wringing about the FedMob disarming the American people is ridiculous. Sure, we should vigorously oppose gun control measures whenever they pop up. But disarming us all isn't going to happen.
That is why disarming us has been a multigeneration effort by the left.
While England was not nearly as well armed as us, the left succeeded in effectively disarming the citizenry over a period of 80 years.
