Would you want this in Singapore? After all, pro-democracy groups like Chee's party panders to American ideals

There was this joke, apparently a joke but certainly with loaded meaning...

Russian Minister : What happens if Americans invade us?

Russian President : Hard to say, hope we manage to nuke them first.

Russian Minister : Why don't we try to invade America first?

Russian President : Are you crazy? There're 200 million firearms in circulation in America.
Our army would be all dead before a single American solidier moves!

Would a Russian soldier be scared of an American Chiobu holding a gun

The bullet would settle the question. Billions (no typo, billions, not millions) of bullets are in circulation in US. Go to supermarket also can buy US$20 box of 5 dozen. You go figure. Spread that with 200 million firearms among 300 million population, US is the heaviest armed country in the world and in history of the world.

If you look at it another way, Americans are very civilized people...
Firearms deaths compared to the firearms in circulation.
Can you imagine if Ah Tiongs can do likewise in China?
Or even Sinkieland....incidents per capita will be much higher.

I agree with you on some levels americans are even more civilized compared to sinkies.

It's not the yankee girls the invaders would be concerned about but the countless "Rambo" inspired self-styled militias, trigger-happy "Dirty-Harry" morons that spread across the Land of The Free waiting for an opportunity to use their weapons.

Besides, on the Ruskie's side, there may be a high number of defectors.

Cheers!
