The escalation of hostility and violence in the United States is becoming undeniable. Over the past couple years alone, there have been politicians calling for increased antagonism toward Trump and his supporters, protesters (sometimes violently) confronting the police and ICE, violent clashes on the streets between Antifa and patriot groups, and many other instances that signify dark times ahead for the US. Almost one third of the nation believes a civil war is imminent. If this worst-case scenario becomes reality, who would have the upper hand?
Many on the right side of the political spectrum will hastily assume that they have the advantage because they have more guns. Republicans absolutely do own more guns, but many Democrats and Independents own guns as well. Will this advantage be enough to definitively win a war? It is hard to say.

The Left is more willing to initiate violence, because they are sure they can escape long-term consequences. Look at William Ayers, Angela Davis, and the rest of the 1960's revolutionaries. Meanwhile, any right-winger who engages in violence becomes unemployable (because employers know that the Left will hound any company caught hiring them).
This changes radically once violence becomes common and general.
You can have anything, anytime, for a price.
Said by every side, in every war, ever. Winners and losers alike.
You personally will win in the long run if you have trusted in God, but what earthly team He will allow to win in the short run is unknown to any man.
I don’t think that we would be seeing too many wild public protests by the left unless it’s staged by the govt for the cameras.
Food can be dropped in by planes tho””’
Don’t think so. Liberals are not pilots. Power grid would be down, so flying would be very hazardous.
Where would they get the food to ‘fly it in’?
No one who has food stashed is going to give it up to support the welfare cities.
The communication everyone takes for granted won’t be working. Gas stations will be shut down, so getting out of your own zone will be a problem. Cash will be king-—no debit cards-no credit cards- no ATM’s-no EBT cards will be working. Banks will be closed. Grocery stores will be looted within 3 hours.
IF you haven’t prepared by now, you’d best be doing so very quickly.
I’m glad I’m old. I worry about my nieces, nephews, and their kids.
Wisconsin alone has over 600,000 registered hunters. Not all of them use guns. Bows can be very effective & deadly silent.
You absolutely would fight the ferals coming out of the cities. Don’t fool yourself.
Minorities would unquestionably take the cities and whites would hold the country. Skirmishes would then take place in the burbs, with minorities doing damage to the inner burbs and whites holding the exurbs and outer burbs.
Supply chains - so fragile.
That’s not Almost heaven ... Thats HEAVEN!
Just look at Syria
Notice that there has been very little of such violence in concealed carry / stand your ground states. I wonder why that is?
Also, the Proud Boys have had enough of AntiFa’s horse apples, and have pushed back, hard. See this compilation from a recent Portland event.

Actually, I’ve thought your scenario out too. If a disabled guy in a wheel chair with a shot gun can at least take out one of those coming to get his shot gun before he is taken out, it’s sort of an even score. It’s one less the younger more able bodied have to worry about.
Guns to have:
Ak 47 - very rugged. Ammo is heavy. I learned an important lesson in Nam.
12 gauge pump shotgun - riot version
2-.45 semi auto pistols. Teach your wife to shoot and shoot accurately.
Lots of ammo.
The will to use it.
Yep.
In 1776 the world's number one power was england, both army and navy, and a bunch of guys, that were good with single shot muzzle loaded rifles, became an army and kicked their ass.
Will and determination dominate in a guerilla conflict {and I don't believe that our military will fight against the "people"}.
That's not what will happen here. There won't be two clear sides, two clear leaders, two different uniforms. It'll be a multitude of various factions of left-wing, right-wing, libertarians, Christians, anarchists, end-of-timers, various marauders and opportunists, and then groups of men who just want to rob and rape.
“How many rifle carrying Americans could a C-130 gunship kill in an hour?”
Are C-130 gunships and ICBMs how the United States won the Vietnam war?
“But bunches of guys who are good with rifles are not an army. We would not last five minutes against a USMC rifle company.”
I hope the U.S. military still trains recruits not to obey illegal orders.
