I don't think it's a right wing belief. It's more like an Art Bell radio show belief, like 12/21/12.

You apparently haven't read all I've said. If we got invaded by China, there would THEN be more than 200 million people with guns. There are enough guns in this country for everybody to have a few, and we have factories. The Second Amendment guarantees the right to bear arms (have guns), so guns are not supposed to be banned in any city. There are just registration complications in a lot of places. Also, people could go to other places to buy them, including the underground markets.

I think the armed citizenry issue is being harped on way too much in this thread. I said it would be a bonus to our military power and our nuke potential. It would be a small factor compared to the other two deterrents, but it would still be signficant. I never once said it is the biggest deterrent factor. Next topic please.
