I'm not saying this is something to be ignored, but those groups are really small, much like the moonbat beer belly "militias" the media loves to focus on. I have no way to prove it of course, but I'd say with confidence, if we wanted to talk about number of small arms per "side" as if it was the deciding factor, that "our side" has far more guns and shooters to bear them. But guns per side is likely not what would win or lose anything during this hypothetical CW2. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

Quoted: What? Lol! You think the next civil war will be assholes lining up on either side of a line and having at it? If you do you know NOTHING about a civil war. Our last "Civil war" really wasn't. It was more a fight against states secession. The next one will be assassins and hyper-violence. You get thought of as a conservative and one night when you and your family are getting out of your car, five men sneak up and beat you and your wife and kids to death, then walk away. Sure you might be a big man, cage fighter, MMA champion with CCW, but me and four of my friends could stomp you to death and you would be lucky to even get a single hit in because you would be hampered by trying to protect your most treasured and fight. Better yet, if one guy walked up with a pistol and surprised you. Guns are a fantastic tool, but in the next civil war are not really that important. Our side is TERRIBLE at being violent for the simple reason that we are typically law abiding. Most liberals see themselves as above the law, especially if you're a Nazi. They don't even see you as human, and could do anything they feel like without any afterthought whatsoever to you, your family, or any possible associations you have. Is your gun going to stop someone from throwing a molotov through your window? LO fucking L. And let's further face facts: The Liberals own law enforcement and are actively using THEM against us as well both actively and through tacit approval of their violence against us. People saying what you did have NO FUCKING IDEA what you're talking about. View Quote |

A lot of hard lefties do own guns. A lot of moderate to hard righties own a fuck-ton of guns.
But "number of guns owned per side" still doesn't matter. |

I hear people who "were there" who keep saying it's still not as bad as it got in the Sixties.
Okay, maybe not. Sometimes people's memories become more fuzzy and maybe it was worse or better than the times we are now living in. The one or two things that make me think a conflict is inevitable: Neither side wants to allow for different opinions from the other, and one side refuses to accept when the other side wins. That's a recipe for civil war, no matter how you slice it. Once the losing side can't work with the winning side, it's only a matter of 'when', not 'if' it comes apart. |

I don't think there will be a civil war but if Trump wins a second term, I think we will see a lot of violence from the left. It won't be from middle class millennial hipsters or old liberals but from high school and college age kids who think they know better.
I could see political offices being shot at, campus demonstrations getting nasty, protests in the streets getting nasty. I think it will be on a much larger and more violent scale than we've seen from antifa in Seattle or Berkley |

The Russian Revolution started organically at low levels and led to the Russian Civil War. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:
Quoted:
Civil wars don't generally start with the little people or with the average non-governmental citizenry. In general they are caused by irreconcilable splits in the highest levels of government and military. Displeasure among the people can cause protests, riots, insurgencies, and even revolution. But if you wanna talk about civil war then you gotta talk about what's going on at the highest levels of government and military. What's happening amongst the citizenry can have an effect because those up high may gauge their support by it, however, what's going on down low doesn't create or run a civil war. It requires organized governments and their organized militaries fighting each other for exclusive regional or national control. |

Everybody in here sitting it doesn’t matter you need to get out now!” |

Quoted: I think you need to be careful with comparisons to the '60s. The protests were worse then, but they were rooted in the Vietnam War. When we stopped drafting and sending young men to war the protests ended quickly. The actual commies of the era were disappoint, and some went to form terror groups. Then they realized that wasn't gonna work, so they went into education.

What we know of the deep state now is much worse than what we knew back then. View Quote And you are right about the Deep State. It's no longer just a suspicion that our politicians are out to screw us and further their own agenda regardless of our opinions or desires. But the bottom line I get back to: there is no such thing as compromise anymore. If you even disagree with the wrong people they try to ruin your life. Sooner or later "the wrong people" poke a stick at the wrong animal and end up being lunch. Glenn Beck has often said that he's waiting for the "self-immolation" moment like in Vietnam when monks started setting themselves on fire. Others have said they are waiting for the "Archduke Ferdinand" moment when the spark lights the fuse due to some sudden, unacceptable event. When I see people start hanging from bridges because they appeared on TV wearing the wrong T-shirt, I'll know we're there. |

View Quote James Comey didn't really want that situation where he went on TV to explain why Clinton was not going to be recommended for prosecution. He did it because he felt he had to, to try to uphold the integrity of the FBI. Clinton didn't want to be in that spot, either. But she was, and so the Obama administration had to do what it had to do to avoid prosecution. That helps Trump win the election, but then they unleash their "insurance policy" in order to protect themselves. They didn't want to be in that spot, they just were. But this results in a soft coup attempt on Trump based upon FBI lies for FISA warrants. FBI didn't want to tell those lies, but they needed to to carry out the "insurance policy". My point is that a process is set in motion and you end up with results no one wanted or was asking for. That is how you end up in civil war, not because anyone wants it. |

Wanna know why a conflict is coming? I have followed this website for years before finally signing up. And I mean years. I would say if you went back 5 years or so and looked up a thread on a potential conflict, the responses would be mostly be mocking the OP and telling them to get more tinfoil. This would go on and on for every thread or post about such a topic.
Today, it is the polar opposite. People here are saying it is just a matter of time and 30-40k armed people showed up and in Virginia. Think about that and what it means. |

It's not that Communists and socialists hate guns, they just hate people that disagree with them. If you disagree with them and also own guns well you get double the hate.

Still can't see the forest for the trees?
Here it is. The people behind this stuff aren't American to begin with. Just like ISIS was mostly not Middle Eastern. And that's where they got their funding. By robbing the Mid East of major oil reserves for years. Then, they sold to places like Burisma, who were willing to fence the stolen booty. This isn't chump change. Obama encouraging open borders, illegals to vote in elections, dis-allowance of real ID and voter fraud. They imported their own army, took our jobs, voted in our elections, and literally illegally steered Virginia down the path it's headed. They may speak good English. But they are not American. They are controlled by the same people who controlled ISIS. Look at Aleppo. Look at Mosul. Look at Malawi in the PI. They do not want civil war. They are aiming for the total destruction of our society. Absolute ruination. They will not be satisfied until everything we are, and everything we have is totally destroyed. Forget 20th century stuff. The population was disarmed in Iraq. ISIS first killed the police, then exectued the unprepared military, seized their equipment, and seized control. They began the systematic destruction of the entire region. By the time it was over, nothing of any value was left at all. Like, zero. They used both conventional and non conventional weapons, and indiscriminately killed millions of people, including their own. This isn't civil war. It's a foreign invasion funded by the same people that brought us the Arab Spring. Anyone who thinks differently about this is in for a very rude awakening. Babylon has fallen, and become the habitation of devils. These are the greatest deceivers mankind has ever known. They are on no one's side. |

The left isn’t going to give up their guns, they are already used to living with contraband like pot needles....
