Have you ever been to Africa? Those men fight all the time armed people. I know Rwandans who have fought hand to hand as teens with machetes. Wow Americans really are out of touch with the world. I know South Africans who fought in Rhodesia against Marxists , the level of carnage those black Marxists are willing to do is not something the western mind is used too. I’m telling you as someone who has been boots down in a number of conflict zones your AR15 is not going to do much against a horde of AK47 wielding savages , yes you will get a few like Laz said maybe a dozen if you have good shooting skills but when 100 descend on your suburban home it’s only a matter of time. So you leave your home now it’s ransacked and occupied by the savages you know like Rhodesia. You start sniping from the fields great you might get some more savages. The heat seeing drone above you run by those who called the savages in sees your body heat and drops a 40mm grenade silently from above you can’t hear the drone 1000 feet above you dropping a fin guided grenade right on you. That only has to hit within 5 meters to kill you and 15 to seriously wound you. From 1000 feet easy to hit a 5 meter target. Ask the Russians the Ukrainians are droning their butts all day every day. It’s fantasy to think of lone wolf wolverine, you need drones, eccm jammers, air power too, border control, sea control. It all comes down to who controls the military when the balloon goes up.
You need to find another scare tactic. The one you're using isn't effective.
I agree that the big cities or even the burbs is not where I would want to be. But, you are selling the American rural population short if you think they would be a push-over. Most people where I live have been sneaking through the woods and hunting and shooting all of their lives. And, they ALL own ARs and other military rifles of some variety or another and shoot them often, and not just on the weekends. Heck, I have a half-mile rifle range in my back yard. As I said before, there are MANY skilled vets among us, and active militias are growing by leaps and bounds. This is why Japan always feared invading the US mainland in WWII. They knew there would be an armed redneck behind every tree. And, by the way, I have been to Africa. I also understand that shotguns work great on drones in the Ukraine.
