First, I'm not military, never have been. Just your average, everyday Patriot and ( Per USC Title 10, Sec. 311 ) member of the Unorganized Militia. You might be shocked to discover that, in all likelihood, you are as well.
I would also like to correct those members who seem to think these are numbers I've pulled out of my nether regions. The numbers of weapons and owners thereof is available through the Beureau of Alchohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, and the numbers of A-D Military from the Guiness Book of Records. The 25% of Military who would fire on American Citizens is from a DoD study conducted at Camp Pendleton, CA in August of 1998.

The numbers I quoted are: 1% of all ( known, legal ) gunowners retaining 1% of all ( known, legal ) firearms in current circulation. I don't think any Gov-run operation could nab even close to 99% of gunowners and 99% of guns; I'm giving the BATFEebs the benefit of the doubt here.

As for ability: I'm not talking about hitting bullzeyes at 600 yards. I'm talking about the moving pop-up targets employed at the formerly Riverside Gun Club ( now Revolutionary War Veteran's Association ) in Ramsuer, NC. You can read about this organization, their training, and their matches in The Shotgun News, in "Fred's" column. Should be about halfway back.
Artillary: What makes you think a bunch of ( basically ) light infantry is going to sit still for a 48-hour artillary barrage? We're crazy, not stupid.
Night-shooting: That's what starlight scopes, illuminated reticles, tritium, and NVGs are for. Plenty of those floating around in Cicillian hands, too...
