The population of the state of Texas is 26,956,958, and gun ownership is at 35%, giving us over 9 million gun owners in Texas. That is the largest armed force in the planet. Here's where you're most likely to own a gun
By comparison, China has the largest standing army in the world and has only 2.3 million men. People's Liberation Army - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Here is a chart with estimates of all gun owners in each state, using the method above I used for Texas, taking population and multiplying by the percentage of people surveyed that own guns there.
The states with the larger gun ownership also tend to have the higher percentages of veterans, too, by the way.

That is nearly 92 million armed American citizens, and ten states with numbers of armed citizens larger than the largest Army in the world.
In summary, no government on this planet can disarm the American population. Period.
