It’s been pointed out that most gun owners in our country are conservative. Some have rested on this fact that any civil war would go badly for the left.
But, the unanswered question is what would the military do? I don’t have much faith in the upper ranks of any of the branches siding with the Constitution and the American people.
Are the rank and file of the enlisted men and women going to be loyal to the Constitution or to Federal government? Will it be enough to offset those in the military who would simply “follow orders” from those above?
But I believe it would be more of a guerrilla conflict. Picture Vietnam, not WW2.
The battles would not be conventional, the methods would not be conventional, and the targets would not be conventional.
The police and the military would only become targets if they chose to involve themselves. As for the police, think in terms of "How we burned in the camps..."
The military? Asymmetrical warfare.
I'm not advocating for that, of course. This is purely an intellectual exercise.
