I wouldn’t lose sleep over that. They’d refuse the job....”behind every blade of grass there would be a gun.” They’d get the job done by having our own elected officials turn against us.

Sadly to say in such a situation I think that fully 90% of the armed American populace will meekly roll over, show their bellies and beg not to be harmed. Sheep. Just say the gun owning population is 100 million. I think 90 million will simply surrender in the face of overwhelming odds. The good news is that leaves a force of over 10 million many of whom will be veterans and many of those will have combat experience. A good portion of those will be combat troops of the special forces persuasion whose bread and butter is tying indigenous civilian forces into an effective means of regime change.

The country may rapidly change hands but it will not do so quietly. I think that as in Iraq, winning the peace will be much more difficult than winning the war. However the globalist traitors in our own country will have made things much easier for the opposition. Remember the scene from the great 1980s movie Red Dawn? Where the Russkie tells the Cuban to go to the gun stores and retrieve forms 4471 with lists of gun owners to round up?

That's only a start. Identifying civilians hostile to the occupying force will be frighteningly simple, thanks to interconnecting databases. Anybody that's a member of NRA, GOA, CCRKBA or even (and maybe especially) the John Birch Society is a target. Especially if they're former military. Other indicators: Subscriptions to gun mags or hunting license history. Membership in the scouts (teaches self sufficiency). The possible permutations are endless. Once it gets rolling there will be no stopping the juggernaut without heavy bloodshed and I'm not certain the gene for liberty still exists in sufficient numbers thanks to liberal incursions into public education (that was the reason in the first place) and erosions of our culture.

Your ten percent figure of those willing and able to defend/restore is high!

That's my take as well... gut feeling, fwiw, is three to five percent willing.

That's still a BIG bunch of us!
