In 2011 13.7 million people, 6% of the U.S. population 16 years old and older, went hunting. Hunters in the U.S. spent an average of 21 days pursuing wild game.
13.7 MILLION armed folks.........plus an estimated 80 million gun owners in the USA today. Consider you're a commie pinko who would just love to overrun our beloved country.......you've launched a nuke to knock out our electrical grid and now you would like to march in and just take over. Now picture going door to door across the land with a 12 gauge or a 30-06 greeting you all over.......forget the deep South for starters, and the upper Midwest hunters next. Kruschev in the cold war and the Emperor of Japan all took this into consideration in WW2 for real.
We are unique in all the world, when somebody wants to come and kick your teeth in you will want to be hugging any NRA shooter you can find............
Many old timers like me would grab a rifle and start shooting at invaders to protect our families. I keep 5,000 rounds of ammo on hand for target shooting, so it would last a while.
The US military can handle it fine without you and your AR-15. Most advanced fighting force in the history of humanity with tricks up their sleeve we don't even know about. And anyways, if they can't, the next major war with us will be fought with such advanced weapons that you probably won't even see what killed you. If Russia attacks us, you think they're gonna send one nuke? They'll send hundreds. The technological asymmetry of top-tier warfare capabilities vs. your gun collection has expanded dramatically over the past century and is only going to continue to expand, probably at an increasingly accelerated rate.

Nope, they'd just drop something on you and move on.
