There are 300M guns in the USA spread across 3.8M m^2.
1M soldiers (O(current armed forces)), armed with all the equipment they have (unless they decide to nuke the whole country) could not take down a rebel force spread across most of the US (concentrated away from the coasts, of course ;-).
It's not just theoretical.
- dblotsky 8y agoBy “could not take down” do you mean “could not occupy the space of”, or “could not overcome in a battle”? If occupation, there’s more to it than guns. If battle: the military has tanks, which are highly resistant to small arms.
