That was a last ditch and rather nutty attempt by Japan to float some balloons over. I don't recall airships and they didn't have a large airship program.
One poor soul got blown up in the NW when he went to poke at one of the balloons that actually made it.
The Japanese did have a well worked out plan to attack the Panama canal with planes launched from giant subs but that was called off as the war ended.
Anyway, defense against foreign invasion isn't going to be a selling point for the modern RKBA. Social disruption like after Katrina or the LA riots is a better one, I agree. I recall for Schumer and Bloomberg, a NY Times photo of a guy sitting in front of his ruined house in Long Beach, NY with a pump shotgun after Sandy. Long Beach was the home town of much of my family and I spent much time there.
