That area of the country is not MOST PEOPLE.
Isolating and destroying people one at a time, some very publicly and some quietly contributes to the climate of fear and silence the Beast from Modor on the Potomac is currently engaged.
A one-weekend skirmish is one thing. A drawn-out protracted resistance with suffering blamed on the resistors will have outcomes less than what you assume.
If a Christian people would not stand up and resist their faith from being demonized and removed from the public square, then I have little hope that they are going to stand up and resist much else, except riot when their beer, pizza and porn stops being readily available.
That kind of resistance is more French Revolution than a War of Independence and the results are likely to be the same: a bloodbath.
You can consider the case of Connecticut as well. The state sent letters to people who had tried to register their guns but didn’t meet the deadline. Told them to get rid of their guns.
The state backed down in the face of threats of armed civil disobedience/shows of force. By outside pro-2A groups who said they were going to show up en masse and carry their illegal (under CT law) weapons openly.
