There is no such thing as America.
There are only European colonies.

u wot m8
ill have you know we Americans are trained in gorilla warfare (especially the southern ones) and have an arsenal bigger than most of those European "countries" you're talking about

American arsenal is probably big enough to fill every metre of Belgium with twenty metre tall mountain of military gear.

Hell, we had one dude in SC that had an estimated 10,000 guns in his *personal* arsenal. Enough to fill four 40-foot trailers. Guess it was like "Hoarders" meets "Duck Dynasty".

I like the fact that the shotgun right there front and center has a gun lock on it.  It's nice to know that guy was practicing proper safe storage.

As of last October, there were more privately-owned guns than there were people in the US. There are also more rifles in the hands of private American citizens than the combined military forces of the entire world.

Which would probably be significant if artillery didn't exist.

In the news, Trump has chosen Indiana governor Mike Pence as his running mate. Pence and Trump don't exactly see eye to eye on a lot of issues, but it looks like an attempt to increase his appeal to the religious right part of the Republican base, who haven't been too pleased with him so far and may not have turned out in the numbers he needs otherwise.

Yes, it was noted but the conversation moved on to things that matter.  Well that are less unimportant.

Which would be significant if artillery had the capacity to hold or take ground.  Boots on the ground win wars, not fire support.

I think the point being made was that it's all very well to say " we have more guns than there are soldiers in the world", but any modernised army would make mincemeat of them and their owners if they tried to be an army. Stick to rambling about the government wanting your AR-15 and mowing down wood at the range.

We also have more veterans than the rest of the world.  Your argument doesn't even make sense, an untrained person with a rifle is every bit as deadly to opposing forces, regardless of the equipment those forces field, they just don't make good soldiers.  What makes a good soldier is the capacity to act as part of an organized force with unified goals, not their ability to shoot straight.

Edit: If you recall Vietnam, a highly organized military fought a bunch of farmers with inadequate equipment and got their asses handed to them through extensive use of ambush tactics.  You don't have to be a professional to be effective.

Also the Chechen war is notable cos they flattened everything with artillery and that still didn't win the war
