Maybe we should do the math. I don't know the answers to

1) How many armed patriots are there in this country ?
2) How many armed U.S. military are there ?
3) How many armed U.N. soldiers are there ?

If everybody in this country who has a gun could be included in number (1), don't we outnumber the others by dozens to one ?

I just saw a movie where Ralph Fiennes played three different Jews during the 30s and 40s. There was a scene where one of the characters he played was tortured and killed by four armed Nazi soldiers in front of maybe a thousand unarmed Jewish prisoners, with nothing separating them. The moral here is the psychology of the situation. Every prisoner feared taking action against the Germans on his own, yet if they all acted in concert they could have easily overwhelmed the four Nazis.

If there are ten or twenty million of us, and if we act in concert, I don't see how numbers (2) and (3) can prevail. Also, I hope many (2) will become (1) .
