I had never thought about the organizational issues you mentioned before. One thing I could see happening in a civilized society of rule followers is that when the knock comes at the door to disarm you, I doubt that there are too many "over my dead body" types that respond. I think that the majority of Americans would begrudgingly, but cooperatively hand over there firearms. That said, in a society that has the communication availabilities such as ours, it would not take long for the news to spread. I believe that we would see less than a 10% disarming before neighbors did ally up and form a very organized militia to defend each other. That covers internal threats that which I believe are largely artificially created by the NRA. As far as non domestic threats, I have no doubt in my mind that Americans would organize and defend. The attempt to create a comparison between the attempts of Iraqi insurgents and a civilian American defense is very flawed. First, you are using a primitive country sadly still in the early stages of organization, where the majority of citizens wanted us there in the first place. Second, you using a minority group in an already disorganized country and using their actions as the definition of your statement. Lastly, this group you are referring to in many cases had never used many of the weapons you are talking about.   Now, in America you have a modern society whose people, though divided about many issues, would not be divided about an invading country. I'm not assuming that everybody in America would come to arms, but the majority would, and that majority are gun toting Americans who do know how to use their firearms. That combined with the US military is a more powerful militia than any in the world.</p></blockquote><p></p>
