Plenty of those gun owners would starve to death in a week if the Burger King down the street closed. Owning a gun isn't going to get you very far when you are barely motivated to get your sweats on in the morning.
It takes a little more than just having a gun to hypothetically take on the military like what started this conversation. These people are only a threat to themselves and their neighbours.

Out of those 97.5 million how many of them are Grandma who has dead Gramdpa's 40 year old gun somewhere in a back closet and how many of them are a 8 year old who just got 22 for Christmas.
Also only about 6% of the 97.5 million gun owners are NRA members. Guns don't seem like a big priority to a lot of people who own guns.
it doesnt matter how u spin the stats... 6% of 97.5 million is 5.85million.
and how many of those owners have like 2 or 3 guns? or 30 guns? or 100 guns.
how many illegal weapons are there out there?
whats the plan? kick down every door, clear the area, house to house. block to block? like in afghanistan or iraq? or vietnam... lol that isnt very effective
dude they were burning down entire villages indiscriminately.
you think they'd do that on their own soil? how many military personnel would start a mutiny?
how many pro america militias are gonna pop up?
and say u get your way...
how many 10's of 1000's of your own people would they have to kill and how would the rest of the people think of that? Like there's no way this idea even works LOL.
i'll tell u, it's gonna be a very very long, slow, paranoid war.
no military in the world can effectively win a guerrilla war.
herp derp rag heads in afghanistan can learn to fight and make IED's and take out convoys and stop two of the greatest militaries in the world from taking over.
u seriously don't think a buncha pissed off americans cant do better? like SERIOUSLY? and how many of those pissed of americans are ex military... or current military.
there are little fucking teenage girls that can target shoot better than snipers. there are guys that can hit every target in the room, before the opposition can even draw their guns. these people arent rare either.
there's a common misconception that being in the military suddenly makes you rambo and really good with guns and shit.
the best shooters in the world are civilians. that have a natural skill set, and a passion for guns.
you'd never be able to catch these people. they dont just live at home with their guns. they could give up their guns. pretend to be good.
but there's a secret stash of rebel guns that they have access to somewhere.
bro the ideas are endless. the military would be playing never ending pest control.
people would start making their own guns. its that simple.

sure... so would the non gun owners LOL.
the ones that are weak will just give up their guns and turn sides or surrender right away.
there will be others and leaders that will gather these people and turn them into rebels.
i wouldnt underestimate "unmotivated lazy americans that own guns" when you're rolling down in tanks taking away their guns and killing their friends.

Where did I say they would take all the guns? The government could use a state of emergency to intact stricter gun laws.
The Afghans are way better fighters than the weekend warrior Americans you are talking about. Just ask the British, Russians and the Americans. None have been able to defeat them.
It was a lot of fluff about border security, migrants, and keeping liberty safe. But my favorite was the conflicting rhetoric about how the gov't should be running the country, and not getting bogged down in bipartisan politics. The problem is that Trump is the one who divided not only the house, but his own party!
It's insane what comes out of this guy's mouth. What's even more insane, is that I'm going to bet that he is voted in for a second term. The Democrats just don't have the pull to win a country that has been governed by the GOP for 2/3 of it's history. Thank Roosevelt's ghost for the 22nd amendment that disallows any president to rule for more than two terms.....
Shit just got real for orange Cheeto and his family. There goes spring break at his golf resorts for Cheeto.
Dotard, his sons, US dept of justice, and Trump's businesses have two weeks to respond to broad investigation into allegations of obstruction of justice.
House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler on Monday announced a sweeping investigation into President Donald Trump's campaign, businesses, transition and administration, a probe that would lay the groundwork for Democrats if they choose to pursue impeachment proceedings against the President.
The Judiciary Committee on Monday sent letters to 81 people and entities — including the White House, the Justice Department, senior campaign officials, Trump Organization officials and the President's sons — marking the start of a broad investigation that will tackle questions including possible corruption, obstruction of justice, hush-money payments to women, collusion with Russia and allegations of the President abusing his office and using it for personal gain.
They are demanding responses within two weeks

Trump will be fine for the remainder of his term as POTUS because of presidential immunity, but it will get very interesting when re-election comes.
To be honest, despite all his flaws, I have really been liking how Trump fxxks with DPRK and China, and I really don't see how any other president would do the same and does it as well as he does. I'm gonna miss that when he goes LOL~
pretty bizzare stuff, steve bannon sitting there blank faced while some guy is presumably yelling some propaganda type shit, and some not so random applause in between.
I googled what I could about this channel and apparently the guy is some billionaire who is close to trump, and no surprise that he's a criminal.
After falling out with members of the Communist Party leadership, Guo was accused of corruption and other misdeeds and forced to flee China. He came to the United States in late 2014[7] after learning he was going to be arrested after allegations against him including bribing, kidnapping, money laundering, fraud and rape,[8] and is subsequently subject to an Interpol Red Notice.[better source needed][1][9]
Does anyone who isn't 'Orange Man Bad!' seem even remotely concerned? Even Trump is saying to hurry up and get it over with, so they can get back to business.

This process is super convoluted and a waste of resources. The election is so close, he just needs to get voted out. Nobody really gives a shit about the Ukraine thing

He is saying, "Let's go to trial", because if it passes through to the Senate, then the Republicans can call upon any witness they see fit, not the puppet list that Schiff has control over and closed door meetings with. Ultimately, the Dems don't want this to happen, so they will not vote to push it through.
The Dems have tried to impeach 5 of the last 6 Republican Presidents, so this is just them acting normal. However, the hearsay and conjecture this time around is really making them look foolish. What they believed would downgrade Trump's popularity before an election is having the opposite effect.
