They s...I like intellectual exercises, mind-games. They stimulate the thought process. Let's engage in a such an exercise, one that is purely hypothetical (and without any advocacy of any particular action, particularly those which might be illegal in some fashion).<BR/><BR/>3% of MV's 3%. OK, let's do the math. <BR/><BR/>3% of the population is roughly 9 million people. But let's not take the entire population, let's take just gun owners. Of course, no one knowns exactly how many people own guns, but I think that a fair estimate is 80 million people. 3% is 2.4 million. 3% of that is 72,000. 72,000 highly motivated, very well-armed people who almost certainly have a great deal of training with firearms, who are probably well-equipped with related devices and accessories (scopes, incl. night vision, range-finders, GPS devices, communications equipment, reloading equipment and supplies, appropriate clothing and equipment to stay outdoors and hidden for long periods of time, etc., etc.). Most will probably have been in the military, and have training and knowledge in small unit tactics, infiltration of enemy positions, etc. Most will probably have hunted deer and other animals.<BR/><BR/>Now, with all of that in mind, consider the chaos caused by 2 law-breakers a few years back (one of whom was a couple cans short of a six-pack), namely the so-called "Beltway snipers." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beltway_sniper These two criminals, with no particular plan, no particular motivation except to cause mayhem and murder innocents, with careless efforts to stay hidden and with only so-so equipment, were able to not merely murder 10 people over a multi-state area, but they tied up the roads there despite the use of thousands of police officers and federal recon assets, and also put most of the population of those states in fear for quite a number of days.<BR/><BR/>Now, in light of what those two miscreants did, consider what those 72,000 could do, nation-wide. Oh, and they would (for purposes of this hypothetical exercise) not target innocents, but those guilty (in their minds) of illegally exercising authority over them and the rest of the citizenry, and those who supported the exercise of that authority - IOW, little or no collateral damage (to minimize public support for the authorities), with maximum intent to cripple the targetted agencies.<BR/><BR/>I would also expect that food and fuel deliveries wouldn't go quite so smoothly all over the nation in such circumstances.<BR/><BR/>The effects? That's for all of you to speculate about.
