You are also assuming that all of those gun owners would be fighting on your side. All civil wars have their loyalists. And don’t forget, the last time there was a massive uprising against the feds 150 years ago, the rebels got crushed.
sadly, i believe the *sleeping*giant is in a medically induced coma...
Mr Bezmenov, as well as alinsky and the friggin commie agenda submitted to the House records have all told us exactly how it will be done...
its a rulebook to play on human nature, and to grab power, and it works everytime, *if* the patience necessary to carry it out is maintained...
i cant help but to picture drunk, fat, dead ted k, lyin on his bed, ready to die, still clutching at getting his signature ambition of *healthcare'* ramrodded thru...like ole Longshanks seeking one last pleasure in hearing Willian Wallace be broken...
this will not end well for either side...
btw, the weekly standard has the full text of the toomy/munchkin sellout...im no lawyer, but skimmed it to the ‘gun show’ section, and could prolly argue to lockup anybody at a gunshow, making a parking lot private sale, if i were a rabid DA...
What if there were? But what if it wasn't "each other" who was pulling the strings, but rather the "global elite"-/"new world order"-type... I've heard it said that the New World Order cannot [properly] operate w/ the existence of national superpowers. (And, interesting to note, without at least one other superpower any to focus on [or some goal/"reason to keep moving"] it becomes easy for a superpower to fall into decay/infighting/disrepair -- look at China, it's happened to them several times.)
Bezmenov actually mentions features of decomposing societies. Foreign involvement may boost it or not but it is all still features of natural demoralization.
This is likelier than not -- however, as you note, they really are not mutually exclusive situations.
That's a powerful image & interesting parallel/comparison.
this will not end well for either side...
That is very likely quite true. I do very much hope that even if there is a civil war there will not be a French Revolution-style terror (wanton killing of everyone of a particular class; regardless of guilt -- which spills over into perceived supporters of that class) ~~ we must ensure that "our side" not fall to committing murder and theft.

That is amazing, isn't it. -- But it seems it proves what Jesus said: out of the abundance of the heart a man speaketh.

What's interesting is the apparent push for civil war we see the government trying is somewhat akin to a doctor trying to provoke a response from the patient, and then get the legal-system involved civilly (suing the patient, so that he will not have resources when/if he wakes) and criminally (using a strong response as justification for killing the patient and trying to claim an assault/self-defense scenario).
Dems focus on populist messages : That their ideas will help or protect them or OTHERS and it wont hurt anyone, anyone that matters anyway.
‘ We can create jobs helping people and pay for it by making the rich (not you) pay their fair share, money they shouldnt have anyway and don't need’
The other message :’Republicans just obstruct progress and oppose the will of the people because they hate the President’ (or some other bad soundiing reason).
And they reframe the issues : tax fairness, gun safety, marriage equality
BTW : Talking about 'freedom' is NEW to the GOP, deathbed conversion late 2008. They never talked about 'freedom' under GWB. Under GWB the GOP theme much repeated here by some and talk radio was 'We (gubment) are keeping you safe so shut-up and do as you are told'
The shoe is on the other foot.

Indeed. It always disturbed me how some would use the "submit to authority" command (in the bible) to justify absolute/unconstrained acceptance & compliance -- as the TN Constitution puts it: That government being instituted for the common benefit, the doctrine of nonresistance against arbitrary power and oppression is absurd, slavish, and destructive of the good and happiness of mankind -- without at all considering the fact that not every command from an authority-figure is a legitimate authority-carrying command: indeed how could a regulator of the FDA have any authority over your purchasing of reloading equipment? Or the city-counsel's ordnance of a town in another state be binding on your county?
Well...it’s time.
Sadly I am not even certain that there is a sleeping giant at this point.
Maybe there was once, but now we seem to have a legion of complete and utter morons.
I might think that there was some sort of hope to change this situation if we had an opposition part that gave a damn, but we do not have that.
The second party’s sole purpose seems to be to make the communist take over bipartisan, and that is about it.
I am not going to vex myself with voting for those people any longer, because doing so only aides the enemy.
To be perfectly honest, the only thing the GOP does is aid the enemy.
They are serial betrayers. If a person has a knife in their back, there is a R on the handle.
To Hell with them.
They are pretty darn good at blowing elections, esp in POTUS years
And barking tough talk while Obama gets re-elected and signs his bills, the talk radio party...talk...
See tag line...
Absolutely agree with your tagline.
This is the last betrayal for me from them.
There is no more GOP.
I don’t think I included you two in my ping last night.
>>>rather the “global elite”-/”new world order”-type...<<<
Oh, C’mon. What NWO? It hasn’t emerged before 1990s in any form capable to really challenge existing national power structures. Before the Cold War global communications were too poor to enable any viable organized conspiracy, during the Cold War all the global underground was dominated by either Soviet or US intelligence. There were Jewish international cooperation organization ‘Joint’ or whatever, and later UNO but claiming it as a part of NWO of that ‘bad’ type is to ask for extensive medical treatment. Thus, UNO is now in process of getting carjacked by corrupt 3rd world savages and can be potentially used by current or future NWO types. You may also mean bankers and arms makers who has influenced political decision making in ugly forms for quite a long but blaming them as part of some conspiracy is as dumb as blaming communists if your son is an addict, daughter is pregnant at 14 yo and both aren’t visiting church. You have to first look at the mirror and then think how different your parents were to find the problem. That is a main reason for demoralization. Act moral and make your kids this way.

That’s us.
Um, in the context it [demoralize] is about morale... not, directly, morals.
de·mor·al·ize
verb (used with object), de·mor·al·ized, de·mor·al·iz·ing.
1. to deprive (a person or persons) of spirit, courage, discipline, etc.; destroy the morale of: The continuous barrage demoralized the infantry.
2. to throw (a person) into disorder or confusion; bewilder: We were so demoralized by that one wrong turn that we were lost for hours.
3. to corrupt or undermine the morals of.
That said, yes there is a lot of moral training/correction/discipline needed, but "going to church" isn't the answer, [us] being the church is.
The NWO is of course going to happen, otherwise Revelation is wrong (though it might not be a government [or religion] as we view it). The point is that the whole world is going to be arrayed against Jesus and try to fight Him... and they lose.
