Sorry to break it to the gun rights people who think their hunting rifles and smei-auto pseudo-assault rifles would stop a proper military, they wouldn't. It might have worked through most of the 19th century but once mechanized warfare became the standard civilian guns don't mean much

200 million people carrying them would certainly be a deterrent. AK47s can quickly and easily be converted to full auto. IEDs are pretty effective as well. No, the local populations wouldn't have tanks and planes, but you can see how well those have worked in Syria, Libya, Afghanistan, etc. To believe that one or two hundred million armed people would be impotent against any kind of invading force is blissful ignorance. Bring 'em on.
