You may be right, but I would pity the poor SB that tried to take over the folks who live outside of the big cities. City folks may be one thing, but the people who live outside of the big cities in the sticks, are a whole different story. Most of the guys down our way all have weapons and are quite capable of putting 4 out of 5 rounds into a nickel at 100 yards or better. Most of them have at lease 4 or five riffles that will most likely out shoot 90% of most second world military weapons. Yes, military weapons can shoot numerous bullets at a time, but it only takes one bullet to kill you! You are also right that the "battle" would not bold well for the citizens who depend on the police or others to "protect" them. But leave those big cities, and it's a whole different world out there.

Hell, once you leave the big cities, people don't have any fear at all about shooting another human being to death either. If you think that I am wrong, just try reading one of the local rural newspapers sometime.

One more hidden factor that most other nations know and fear; once you have tasted what freedom is, it's next to imposable to ever take it away from someone.

IMHO, there are several real reasons why our nation hasn't been attacked yet by other armys or nations. 1) We are the only supper power left in the world. 2) No other nation has a Military or the resources that can take on a supper power. 3) We are the most heavily civilian armed force in the entire would. 4) No other nation has the technology or the ability to use it like the U.S. has.

I can go on, but I think you get the message! Never ever underestimate the power or the threat that 200 million educated armed civilian people may have. That's why those chicken $hits used airplanes to attack America... They were to chicken to go one to one!
