if you count urban terrorism, we have Atleast three groups. All of them communist or communist in name.

I really wonder how it would work in a country that big in empty spaces and populations with so much authoritarian actors.

Each county has a well armed police force. Nearly each state has an armed force millitia. The country has a national guard. It also has several armed agencies. It has the three biggest armies on earth if you separate each corp and only count active soldiers. It has so much millitary equipment the overflow gets sold to polices.

Those armed millitia are all in different counties, are smaller than the local police forces, with less weapon and next to no organizational know how... They would never be able to have any other impact than get outgunned in a remote place by cops or the national guard...

Unless they all start to cause chaos at the same time, which would maybe lead to a semi destabilization of some part of the USA, I don't see these people with guns achieve anything.

Also most people who wants guns are scared/anxious persons and will talk loud about using them but won't act when it's time, because their real motivation is hiding a percived weaknesses with a weapon.

That's why in all the years of abuse by the insurance system in America, there was only one Luidgi.
