Are you high?  Military forces almost always attack people who are
armed.  The fact that the second amendment exists does not prevent
foreign armies from invading the US.  Foreign armies don't invade the US
mainly because of our geography:  it's pretty hard to make a sea to land
invasion on unfriendly territory.  Take a look at D-Day.  Also, any
foreign army invading had better have a highly trained military force
comparable to the US military.  And it might not be a bad idea for them
to have nuclear deterrants as well.  I'm willing to bet that most
military forces could easily walk over us if all that we had for defense
was the second amendment.
