"I contend that a majority of American of civilians armed with semi-auto weapons are much more danger to a free society than to a foreign government. I also content the the vast majority of Americans who own semi-automatic, carbine length, high-capacity removable magazine, rifles are the very same type of folks who wanted to overthrow the last free and fair elections, the same folks that march under a swastika or KKK flag, and the same kinds of folks who are devoted and proud racists. This is just my opinion based upon personal observation, over a long period of time, and I could be wrong."
What's a majority of civilians owning semi-auto weapons? That's a popular class of firearm, be it .22, high power rifle, or shotgun. 50.0001%? That's a lot of gun owners. We should be under authoritarian rule by now, shouldn't we?
What's a vast majority of the "high cap. carbine length" gun owners? Hard to say exactly how many are in circulation. That would still be a few million, at least, gun owners, and I don't see that many Klan rallies with those numbers taking place here. And to your statement, this is my personal observation opinion, living in a small town/rural area.
If 1/2 of the "evil" gun owners decided to take over the country right now, they'd pretty well get the job done. Jan 6 in Washington was a sh*t show, and there were no civilian firearms used. Only death by gunshot was a protestor by Cap. Police. Imagine if 1/2 those Trumpers had been armed, and didn't care about shooting police. How far could they have gone? I mean, really think about it. Couple hundred AR carbines, 7 30 rd mags apiece, and it would have been all over. The House would have fallen, and quickly, and the Senate wouldn't have taken much longer. SWAT response would have been too little, too late.
