How will we re-supply these armed men? How many have more than a box of shells and a cleaning kit?
It may feel good to talk like this, but a lot more is needed to defend against external aggression.
I nominate you to be the re-supply coordinating officer for the new Constitutional American Army.
Get busy. I need some more .40 cal.
Don’t forget the 200 million strong Chinese Peoples’ Bachelor Army, made up of males unable to find wives as a result of the PRC’s “one child” policy which has created a tremendous generational shortage of females.
All that testosterone has to be directed somewhere.
Hawaii Kamaniwanalaya!
A box of shells? Bwahahahahaha! Clearly, you ain’t from Texas.
Traditionally guerrilla armies steal and capture enemy supplies.
They don't fight force-on-force, but smash and dash.
The rest of the time they are flipping burgers, polishing shoes, driving cabs, keeping shop, etc. Utterly invisible to a standing army.

Prior to the ammo shortages of the past year or so, the ratio of ammo sales per firearm sale in the USA were 1000 rounds of ammo per each firearm sold. If there are 500 Million firearms in the USA, in the possession of American citizens, there should be roughly 500 Billion rounds of ammo in the possession of American citizens.
Some people shoot a lot (or used to), and lots more people shoot just enough to ensure their equipment still works, and for whatever other purpose they might be shooting. I hunted, and harvested, every year for ten or eleven years straight, and used up one 20-round box of 30-06. I used up another half of a 20-round box on targets when a scope was going kaput. I might have a few more boxes put away somewhere. I might have a few other rifles in other calibres laying around somewhere, and maybe a few boxes of ammo for those as well. Just haven't looked lately.
In all the entire world, the active militaries, reserve militaries, paramilitaries (police), combined, total about 75 Million people, and that includes their support people.
Liberals talk a lot of long sniff about our "peashooters", but seasoned military people around the world would know better than to pick a fight with American citizens.
