Should we ever be invaded by a FOREIGN ENEMY, they would likely not care about a bunch or 70 year olds in the Villages. A DOMESTIC ENEMY is far more likely.
Just picking nits, but yes, you most certainly CAN own a typical automatic combat weapon...

And the number of deer hunters in PA alone would be larger than all but a few country's standing armies... Now add Wisconsin, Michigan, etc, etc, etc and you have one of, if not the largest number of armed people in the world...

All it takes is the proper Tax Stamp and paperwork (plus loads of $$$). Feeding them, otoh, is quite expensive...
