How many? Number of each owned by Americans


So I'm at the range and the guy next to me is blazing away with his scoped AR and cursing every shot because he can barely hit the target at 50 yards let alone get one near the X-ring. He's flinching, jerking the trigger, gripping the gun so tight his knuckles are white, etc....... Meanwhile I'm shooting a Model 94 30-30 with iron sights I've had since 1968 and know like an extension of my right arm, my shots tightly grouped at the same 50 yards (typical Michigan deer hunting range). Burning up a couple boxes of ammo like that guy did is not rifle practice, it's noise.

People like that think they can buy skills.

I can't afford the type of guns these guys tend to prefer, I don't get out to shoot much and my eyesight is so bad that I have a clause on my license staying that I'm legally not allowed to drive without corrective lenses, but I have enough good sense to know that you have to relax and keep it smooth, and that's how you hit. Your aim doesn't mean much if you jerk at the last second.

Impressive numbers. But remember sleepy Joe Biden said all we need is a shotgun.
There is a reason no one has started a war on the continental United States in modern history, they would be so seriously out gunned number wise that it would be a slaughter. They would get sniped from every angle.

Anyone who attempts to conquer the USA must also take Louisiana!

Worrying about drones is kind of pointless and unnecessary until they become a daily threat and as long as you're not living in a 3rd world hell hole currently involved in a war, concern is over-rated. Besides, there are several ways to mitigate the effectiveness of drones that don't involve a kinetic response and the likelihood that FPV drones are used against civilians on America soil is a far stretch at least for the the near future. After 2050 and the elimination of the Constitution and Posse comitatus, all bets are off! 🤣

Members of Hezbollah are imbedded with drug cartels south of the border. There are drug gangs there, with heavy weapons and armored vehicles. Hezbollah is teaching them about IEDs, VBIEDs and other nasty stuff. A bio-lab was just discovered in Las Vegas Nevada.
A quick search revealed these statistics:

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) defines Special Interest Aliens as non-U.S. persons who may pose a national security risk based on travel patterns, but the term is distinct from "Known or Suspected Terrorists" (KSTs). The 1.7 million figure does not include individuals on the terrorist watchlist, of whom 382 were encountered at the border during the same period.

Additional concerns:
  • The report states that 99 individuals on the terrorist watchlist were released into the U.S., and 34 others remain in DHS custody without being removed.
  • Over 100,000 SIAs have final orders of removal but remain free in the U.S., according to ICE data cited by FAIR in December 2024.
  • Countries like China, Cuba, and Venezuela are considered "recalcitrant" for refusing to repatriate their nationals, complicating deportation efforts.

The enemy is already here.
