All jokes aside, if you look at our gun laws compared to other countries worldwide (barring Islamic/ African countries, where you see the iconic pics of children with AK-47s) America is armed to the teeth. Can you imagine if all the thugs with illegal arms, combining with legal gun owners, both (of which) have ability to arm others.

Even a boy from NJ with severely prohibitive gun laws learned how to shoot. I thank my Alabama hailing uncle Dan for that

Is there any nation (not under some kind of duress) as versed in firearms as us?

We feared Japan in WW2 because we thought every citizen would fight us. Projected massive losses on both sides, so we nuked them.

We are that country today. A foreign invasion would be slowed up by the military, and stopped by the citizenry. They would have to nuke us, and face certain death themselves.

That is what we are. Pardon the patriotism, but Americans are cool like that.
