A little more math.

Let’s say there’s on the order of 100 million firearms owners in this country.

Then let’s further conjecture that in the event of a ban/confiscation 99.99% of those firearms owners either “turn them in” or bury them in the back yard, never to again see the light of day.

That leaves 10,000 non-compliers.

Then let’s conjecture 99% of those non-compliers go out in the proverbial blaze of glory.

That leaves 100 guys, highly-motivated and likely highly-skilled, to resist in the manner described in the original linked article.

Then, dust-off your foggy memories and remember how much chaos two guys with an old beater of a car and an AR-15, firing one shot at a time, caused in the Virginia/Maryland/DC area about 20 years ago.

Remember also how much chaos ONE rogue/pissed-off cop caused in the LA area a decade-or-so ago.

Then ask yourself if my estimates of how many would take themselves out of the fight are unrealistically high.

Let that stew around in your mind for a while.

John Ross claimed in Unintended Consequences that the IRA never had more than about 200 active fighters, in a country the size of Ireland, an island nation.

And they kept the country in turmoil for decades.

But they did not post stuff on the internet.

A word to the wise.

Unfortunately, our opponents *want* our country in turmoil.

It is how they win.

It is how the Chinese become the predominant world power.
