I know you will disagree that "right wing" does not mean conservative but that's how I interpret right wing.

I may or may not consider such groups to be conservative (it might change on a case by case basis), but if we are talking about the US, even if you include such groups you get a very small percentage of conservatives in the US. It is likely that there are only a few thousand people in right wing paramilitary organizations in the US. (the exact number would require among other things and exact definition), there are tens of millions of conservatives in the US.

Depending on exact definitions I would say the percentage of conservatives that are members of right wing paramilitary organizations is between 0.005% and perhaps 1%. To get even the 1% you would have to manipulate the terms a bit.
