"Out of every one hundred men, ten shouldn't even be there, eighty are just targets, nine are the real fighters, and we are lucky to have them, for they make the battle. Ah, but the one, one is a warrior, and he will bring the others back."

So of those 80,000,000 gun owners, if Heraclitus' approximation was close to correct, more than half a million armed civilians would make ample warriors, not just Summer soldiers but warriors. A warrior is a veritable pit bull in a battle. They learn fast, they have courage in the face of superior forces and they do what it takes. I'd guess many wouldn't feel good about fighting other Americans.

I hope to never see that. There wouldn't be a winning side.
