    That’s a lot of weapons, considering your demographics. You have almost as many armed citizens as you have people between 18 and 45 yo. Other ~25% are 45-60 yo. And if the numbers are rising… well, that’s as many firearms as I was expecting. Also, one can figure those kind of statistics to be conservative, as cautious people may not be bragging about their guns. But in all honesty, just don’t get drafted, resist as much as you can with whatever methods you find yourselves proficient.

      It really matters what those firearms look like. I don’t know the statistics but self defense arms are predominantly handguns which are not weapons for an uprising. Any militant force would be met with rifles and fully automatic weapons as well as military training. Not to mention drone warfare and gas suppression. Americans are just not soldiers.

        It’s not an uprising, it’s just resistance, and yes, it’s a difficult thing to do. But it’s okay if they want to go to war to an otherwise peaceful country so they don’t make their pedophile president mad.
