When it comes to 2nd Amendment & gun rights, anything Federal is already the problem. With Justice Scalia gone, there’s nothing good out of Washington anymore concerning our freedoms.

You wrote, “Civil wars involve leadership, infrastructure and logistics along with command control and communications.” Absolutely this is true.

Each of the states already possess these assets. If even one state’s leadership proclaims the sanctity of the Bill of Rights and backs it up with enabling legislation, especially if the Federal government goes fascistic under Hillary, counterrevolution could break out.

Look at Eastern Europe in 1989: Warsaw Pact, Soviet Bloc, all puppet commie states. Then ONE of them, Hungary, takes down the barbed wire on its border with Austria. Initially a human flood flees communism into the West, and before the year is out, every Eastern Bloc dictatorship has toppled. The USSR stands alone until it disintegrates.

A peaceful revolt of gun friendly states could accomplish something similar, in my opinion. While the Federal regime roars, “Mr. & Mrs. America, turn in your guns NOW!!!”, a coalition of states replies, “Our citizens have the right to possess guns under the Bill of Rights and we will not comply with your unconstitutional edict! Gather your forces and come seize our guns, if you dare!”

What will Preezy Hillary say? “Hope you like the smell of napalm in the morning, you rightwing bastards!”

I don’t disagree with what you said. I don’t see the leadership at the state level that could pull this off. I hope I’m wrong. Most wars could have been prevented by simply standing up against tyranny before it is too late. Wait too long to stand up for your rights and then you have to purchase them all over again with blood.

“The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.” Thomas Jefferson
