So let's allow for the highly highly absurdist idea that somehow Obama took every single gun away from every single American. So you're saying that the Entire Military won't have a say as to China's "carte blanche"? That this would devolve somehow magically into an invasion that would only be hampered by personal ownership of guns seems like a huge huge huge leap in assuming the military isn't doing anything

Sooooo, in this hypothetical, China has declared war on us, invasion forces are coming for us from Panama, and the thing holding us back is that Obama isn't making the call to "scramble them" and therefore the military would just sit on their hands and allow the US to be invaded?

Ask yourself. Hypothetically speaking of course. China would never declare war on America.
Bored? Why not try video games?

Yes.

Since that would be the single most incompetent invasion plan in the history of invasions, surpassing in ignorance and idiocy even the invasions of Russia by both Napoleon and Hitler, I would offer that my grandparents are ready for it. And they have all been dead for more than 30 years.

Christ I'd have to believe even Obama would have his finger on the button and telling the Chinese to get the Hell out of our hemisphere, otherwise KA-BLOOEY!!!!!! Yeah, China has nukes too, but nowhere near the size of our arsenal!

Civilian weapons would never be fired in anger.

Any invading Red Chinese Army would be at the bottom of the Pacific before it ever got to Central America.

The cartels control the border and highways to it, the cartels don't care how many Americans get killed. The money is all they care about.
