I seriously doubt that the government would be able to take them away. We got the guns, we got the numbers and we got the bullets. Sensible gun laws won't work -- we are a bunch of cowboys, psychos and criminals with guns.
And if anyone thinks they are bad-ass enough to invade the USA they are in for a shit-storm like the never imagined. That's just the way it is and has always been.

For one, the government isn't going to take away anyone's guns. That is just a scare tactic the NRA and gun nuts tell each other, as to freak everyone out in order to protect the sale and manufacturing on assault weapons and high capacity clips and magz. It is also used to make it easier for people who have "issues" to get a hold of weapons they wouldn't normally have access to.
Also, nobody is ever going to invade the USA. At least not in the movie like "Red Dawn" scenario. No, our enemies are much smarter than that. Al Qaeda's plans were smarter than that. They sought to cause us to get drawn into a quagmire they knew we could never control, in turn sapping our resources and crashing the economy in the process.
Cyber and biological warfare is the most likely threats we have to face as a nation. Our enemies know what will happen if they can disrupt our energy and communication grids, as well as financial institutions. Our greatest enemies at that point will be ourselves. With 80 to 140 million weapons in our society, you can probably guess how that will turn out.
Our enemies are thinking outside the box, maybe it's time the militia minded morons start doing so as well.
