They may have more guns, but they have about the same number of trigger fingers. Gun ownership by the right is badly skewed by looks like this. One guy with sixty guns is really no better armed than a guy with one gun.
That's because the "arming myself to take back my country from leftists" is just them blowing hot air.
They buy lots of guns because someone told them Obama or Biden wants to take away their right to buy guns, so they spend their whole savings on them thinking that they're beating the system...
In many cases, it's a matter of being so fucking scared of the world (common amongst Fox News and other RW media consumers) that the only way they can be comfortable is within arms reach of a gun.
The vast majority of Conservatives don't have the guts to actually take action with their guns, because most of them bought them out of fear of bodily injury, not to enter battle and put their own skin in the game.
The few extremists that actually want to start a civil war are mostly morons with no training who won't accomplish anything but a handful of disorganized mass shootings that will actually freak out everyone else, including other gun owners.
I hear that the average conservative militia has trained extensively in the military art of marching in formationmarching walking down the street. Some of them even bought a box of green tip right off the store shelf.
every single time the american military has been kicked to shit it's been by barefoot peasants with rifles old enough to retire, and never enough of them to arm every soldier.

Hate to break it to you, but you literally just described the entire state of West Virginia, and likely several more that I don't really culturally care enough about to know of.
