Well this thread blew up since I posted to it.

I'm seeing a lot of projection by older folks about what the public response to the government confiscating people's property by lethal force would be. Please keep in mind that there are lots of people younger than you, who don't have families, who aren't comfortable and soft. I'm not trying to be offensive; I have a family, and I'm comfortable and soft. Not everyone is. Many are fresh out of military service in the middle east, where they have learned what insurgency looks like, and they know how the US tries to counter it, what works, and what doesn't. Many are patriotic Americans that will not stand idly by and watch the country turn into a totalitarian wasteland.

There are more US gun owners than there are members of every branch of every military of every country in the entire world combined. If 3% rose up, that's several million people. There are already states declaring that they will not recognize or comply with a federal confiscation mandate. The lines for civil war are beginning to be drawn.

To answer the question about why I didn't resist the first AWB, it didn't involve confiscation, and I was like 13. If things crank up, I'm not saying that I'm going to go out for blood in the streets, but there are plenty of younger men that I believe will. Lots of people have forgotten history, but many haven't and will recognize the beginning of tyranny and fascism for what it is.

I sincerely hope that we see a conservative renaissance, and that Civil War II happens after I live a long and happy life and pass from this world. I'm just not really optimistic about it working out that way. I think once Antifa starts killing people and patriots start killing them right back, it's going to be on, for better or worse.

Democrats underestimate the number of Americans that are willing to water the Tree of Liberty when needed.
