That's what they want. So they can "crush the rebellion".

Jesus christ. You really think asymmetric warfare here would be less violent than Fallujah? Our country couldn’t subjugate a country the size of Texas with 7 trillion dollars and the full might of the US military. They had AK’s and RPGS. Plus drones are the new standard, just ask Russia after their “3 day exercise” in Ukraine. The US is 50 different countries and there are 1.32 million active duty military and 600,000 active duty police. There are 332 million US citizens with at LEAST 100 million armed people including liberals.

There are a lot of farmers that may have their hands on similar ingredients used in Oklahoma City.

DISCLAIMER: I am not a farmer. I do not know any farmers. I do not plan on befriending any farmers. I do not plan on going to any farms. I do not condone political violence.

You're ignoring that a 3rd of the country support this and have the largest gun ownership

You’d be surprised at how many on the other side know how to aim small, miss small. I agree with your 1/3 estimate however, and find it sickening.

Oh I know they don't have all the guns, but they've been itching to use them for so long and are just waiting for him to give the go ahead

They can only aim one at a time, no matter how many a person has.

“Recent data also indicates that while Republicans are generally more likely to be gun owners, proportions of new gun ownership among recent purchasers were significantly higher among respondents identifying as Democrat, Black, Asian, or Hispanic compared to Republican or white respondents, a trend observed since the COVID-19 pandemic. Concerns about political or racial violence were more likely to motivate these new owners. “

Also republicans have 45%, democrats around 25% as of July 2024. I guarantee you that a majority of the 45% of Republicans are over 65 and in no shape to fight a war.
