It's not hard to disarm if you are object and cruel. How many of us can survive off the land? Where is the ammo coming from? Handguns and deer rifles against unmanned drones, artillery, armor, satellite imaging, night vision, body armor, cluster bombs......mass murder?
I'm just saying the large majority of Americans will defend their property (their homes) with deadly force if they are being occupied and conquered by a foreign force.

After Pearl Harbor, people killed themselves because they got turned down by the military.

Im just positing 1980 America had more to the death "resisters" than today. Most gun fanatics are probably too old to actively fight a guerilla war as well. 40 is pushing it for even a fit male to live rough for 6 months or more.

Who cares if you go down with a gun in your hands if you don't take company to hell? Once I hack the NRA member list as the Chinese chief of staff, I rpg, firebomb, or strafe every home on the list.

I'm not saying a guerilla war. There's just a lot of guns in middle-class America. It'd be a hard time subduing the Americans. It would cost the foreign occupiers a lot of soldiers.

I saw it on some documentary. Probably true that one guy somewhere killed himself because he couldn't get into the army. The point they were making was that people were swamping their recruiting offices all across the country after Pearl Harbor.
