You are correct...to a degree. Our side is widely disbursed through the country and generally owns a moderate amount of guns per individual. The other side is highly concentrated geographically and only a small portion own or have access to weapons.
What happens when you man your position at your home, alone, with your AR and 10 spare mags to face off a horde of 50 "protestors" but 2 people in that protest have rifles and work together to pin you down?
You dont need to arm everyone. Just enough to even the odds a bit. Do that and the preponderance of numbers will carry them.
True.. that's what I will do for you... I've had a good life. The easiest way for them to disarm a population is go door to door with a small militia...
Obviously grandma and grandpa may not be as mobile, may require care/medical equipment, etc. A mother with three young children to corral and guide on her own, etc.
For these reasons and more, having an area where people can hunker down is essential. Having people stay back to guard those who are not able to relocate, etc.
There are extenuating circumstances that each person would have to navigate for himself. And having those situations does not preclude/exclude one's sense of patriotism and duty.

Yup, and don't wait at home for them to come get you... keep moving so you're not a sitting duck.
Easy to say. But for those who have families? Small children? Elderly?
There are very real logistical matters to consider to adequately leave home for an unknown amount of time.

Bless you, fren! I'll do my part from the windows and rooftops.
So what? You make it sound like Americans in the first civil war didn't have families, small children, and the elderly.
Then you're missing my point.

People get too caught up in the "fantasy" of COD-running.
That's simply not how it plays out IRL.
