Unfortunately, I think too many share your view. You, along with many, appear to speak to something of a declared action where everybody understands and can “see” battle lines. I don't think this will be the case. I think you will see asymmetric actions by the Left. I think you will see sporadic, seemingly isolated, acts of violence that will increase in frequency and brutality, while at the same time there will be coordination. There will be targets, but all this will not be obvious, at least for a while.

All of this may occur while the majority of Americans seem to think these are isolated incidents the result of a general breakdown in society. And, then at some point the government will significantly ramp up their police actions. Most people will welcome this as a seeming means quelling the violence, but then it will be too late. The government will start taking “crisis” measure. Confiscating guns and curtailing personal liberties.

I don't even think the government will have to declare Martial Law as the corrupt MSM will do whatever is necessary to support the growing heavy-handed government while continuing to float or parrot the increasing virulent anti-Conservative rhetoric.

No need for Martial Law to be declared when everyone seemingly agrees to the government's actions, and those who don't agree with the governments growing action must be, according to the corrupt MSM, enemies of peace and order and therefore deserving of any outcome they face. Which may then lead to targeted violence from the Left which no one seems to mind too much because it was “justified”.

And this may go on until people are disarmed, suffering economically, and forced into submission.

(Wow, I'm even depressing myself now!)

I understand what you are saying, but by the time they confiscate guns the battle cry will already be sounded. There is a line out there that won't be crossed, I just don't know where it is. But revolutions happen everywhere. Nobody wants to be the first to die, but I may be prepared as much as anybody, yet be taken out in the first round. The body of patriots will go on, however and in my mind, they will win. Most of us have the right attitude to prevail and have common sense to know when someone is lying to us. I don't think most of us would have a problem slaughtering the enemies of America as we have been stepped on for too long now. I know the police would side with us and I'm pretty sure the military wouldn't fire on Americans. Obama feels confident because he has put his own in the top spots, but you have to have your own all the way down the line or the line will break. If a General gives an illegal order to a Major, he may get a surprise from the Major.

I'm certainly not saying everything would be clean and sterile like a movie, but the general outcome is freedom lovers fight to keep their freedom harder than the conscripts trying to quell the insurrection.

If we had a skirmish and lost 20k men and took the government back from the socialists, would that be a worthwhile shedding of blood? What about 200k? You have to ask yourself how bad do you want it and how bad do they want to follow Obama? If they are that dedicated to Obama as a cult leader, then it's no different than Stalin or Castro. It might take awhile to get Americans to feel about their neighbors as we do about the Old Soviet Union, but it won't take long for the atrocities to mount up.

If we are ever lulled into giving up our guns, however, then it's inevitable that this scenario will happen. They talk about anyone that wants to cut the budget as a terrorist. It wouldn't take much for them to approve of lining us up against a wall.
