[Mark17]

All Marxist coups and revolutions require bloodshed in order to to claim justification for the iron fist

You are right, but my question is, how will they do this, with so many well armed citizens? A lot of people have no intention of going quietly into the night. I think if they suddenly try a major gun grab, that may start something serious. The British tried it once, and we know how that ended.

...how will they do this, with so many well armed citizens?

Look what they have ALREADY DONE in the face of so many 'well armed citizens'.

Without the willpower to pull the trigger and risk what our forbears did to resist tyranny, it does not matter how many weapons we have or what kind.

There is a pattern I discern in the current American mindset that I believe is a microcosm that shines a light on the fact that our faith in an armed populace is window dressing…. and the Political Class involved in this coup knows and understands this.

If a Christian people would not rise up and vigorously defend their faith in this culture by eschewing and denouncing evil and resisting it' implementation in the culture, in the public square AND IN THEIR CHURCHES - what makes any of us think that these same people are going to rise up and vigorously defend their liberties?

They're not. Because liberty is directly tied to religious faith and exercise.

If this people would not defend their faith, INDEED even COMPROMISE their faith for the cultural expediences (Homosexual Marriage, abortion, Separation of church from State) - I seriously doubt that the weapons those same people possess would be used for anything other than false comfort in their mere presence.

And then we also have examples of what Gun owners in America will do when confiscation of their arms is ordered:

The will is everything. I continue to be disappointed in what this people are willing to get incensed about and fight about. If they would not fight for their faith that is being watered down from within, I contend they will not fight for their liberties which are also being watered down from within.

There will be pockets of those who are willing to do what is necessary - and they will be made very public and quick examples of. Will enough of us know the time and be willing to risk everything as our forbears did?

I'm not convinced enough of the American people will be willing to endure empty shelves, empty bank accounts and the uncertainty of what may come tomorrow which will surely be blamed on those 'extremist domestic terrorists'.
