Number of guns and gun owners in USA.

Most estimates range between 39% and 50% of US households having at least one gun(thats about 43-55 million households). The estimates for the number of privately owned guns range from 190 million to 300 million. Removed those that skew the stats for thier own purposes the best estimates are about 45% or 52 million of american households owning 260 million guns).

there are about 80 million gun owners in America with a combining total of 258 million guns

I think the odds are in our favor !

And how are you stocked for anti-tank weapons, heavy artillery, anti-aircraft missiles tanks. Cause an army of 80,000 guys is sure has heck going to be well supplied with all of those. You may be able to take on street gangs and generic obama thugs. But the entire 1st armored division is only 15,000 guys. So we are talking a couple of armored divisions backed with four or five infantry divisions in support. And how much close are support can you call in, cause they have A-10s just a radio call away. They are going to go through light irregular infantry like Chili through a goose.

You don't fight that kind of fire power head on with nothing but small arms.

How many AFVs? How many attack helicopters and A-10s? How many MANPADS and RPGs?
Watch the “War Porn” by weaselzipper and see what happens to irregulars when they run into the US Armed Forces. Before we start anything make sure they’re on our side...
