That's all that your side really has going for it, the capacity to imaging the worst, and freak out about it.
This from the folks who ignore that the U.S. already represents the worst, as far as gun violence, all because they imagine even worse; the need -- someday... maybe -- to overthrow their own government by armed rebellion.

And a theoretical foreign army invading the United States would be different how?
What does that have to do with the price of bananas? You were taking about a rebellion against the U.S. government by armed citizens.

I imagine our armed forces would make short work of any foreign army invading the U.S. Should such an endeavor even be attemptable.

Yes, and the not very sophisticated insurgency defeated the most advanced military in the world, next...
Go ahead... ask any Vietnam vet if they were ever defeated.

Once again, the U.S. public lost the political will to keep fighting a war of attrition halfway around the world.

Once again you point to a case where a low tech insurgency defeats a sophisticated army.
{{YAWN}} No... you miss the point.

Ahhh, so you DO get the point. So your two previous statements were just... what... the need to have some sort of response, no matter how lame???

Gee, no shit sherlock. Now how does a pre-modern, conventionaly fought successionary war fit into the post-modern insurgency as counter-foreign invasion discussion? This is square peg-round hole logic.

Again, the relevance to insurgency as counter-foriegn invasion escapes me.
Yes, I'm sure it does. An armed insurrection in the U.S. would either amount to a full scale conventional war, or a huge guerilla war... I gave you examples of both and a taste of the bloodbath that would ensue.

Either way the result is so obvious, you're simply not interested in understanding.

I suppose you think all the sacrifice that led to our independence in the first place was a bad call too?
Because I see nothing in our current government that would justify such a monumental disaster or couldn't be resolved by massive peaceful resistance and civil disobedience.

You love guns so much, though, I'm sure the thought of a full on bloodbath tickles you pink. Weeee!
