While this is a nice sentiment, it is absolutely disillusion. Push comes to shove, a vast majority of that army of hunters people like to talk about will willingly fall in line when threatened with force from the government.

Good afternoon. I kinda agree with you but...

While this is a nice sentiment, it is absolutely disillusion.

I'm not so sure, given the math...

Push comes to shove, a vast majority of that army of hunters people like to talk about will willingly fall in line when threatened with force from the government.

I agree, but let's look at the numbers. Let's say the vast majority is 90%. That leaves approx. two million hunters. Let's say for the argument, that 40% of that 2M are vets. Now, get into organizing (command structure, commo, logistics, force multipliers, training, etc.), and what do you have? The force structure (minus the toys), of the current U.S. Army.

Food for thought. Thirty three percent of the colonists were against the British. Only about 30% of those actually fought. You know how that turned out.

Think about it. Not as dismal as you would postulate...although the carnage would make the first war between the states look like a walk in the park on a warm spring day.
