Those are the facts, seems to be. To make it more real it’s should be recognized while those firearms are well utilized in self/home defense their effect on matters of state is less than negligible.
“...is should be recognized while those firearms are well utilized in self/home defense their effect on matters of state is less than negligible.”
That is certainly an arguable point however, even if that were the case it could change in a instant if the UnitedStates were to be actually attacked.
It may be reasonably conceded that private Americans semi-automatic weapons would not stop military weapons, that presupposes that the US Government and US Navy would allow a CCP invasion force to cross 4500 miles of the North Pacific (which under the current administration is not out of the question).
In any case, could the CCP invasion force be assured of that same dominance in eastern California, eastern Oregon, eastern Washington, Idaho, Utah, Arizona and east of the Rockies?
We need be more concerned with our Federal government threatening “They don’t have nuclear weapons.” to the American people.
