Myth #1: They're coming for your guns
.
Fact-check: No one knows the exact number of guns in America, but it's clear there's no practical way to round them all up (never mind that no one in Washington is proposing this). Yet if you fantasize about rifle-toting citizens facing down the government, you'll rest easy knowing that America's roughly 80 million gun owners already have the feds and cops outgunned by a factor of around 79 to 1.

2. Excellent point. A small fleet of drones will trump millions and millions of guns.

And their pilots can direct them and fire weapons from comfortable air-conditioned bunkers, without needing to wear helmets or body armor.
