Gun Confiscation = Civil War?

Obama's Efforts may start Civil War?

With almost 90 guns per 100 people, I more or less see why this might be even a remote possibility. I believe at least half are considered "assault weapons" according to the new AWB (assault weapons ban) Senator Dianne Feinstein is trying to push. I've also hearing that people are calling for the repeal of the Second Amendment. With a few attempts to repeal the 22nd Amendment, the 2nd Amendment can be repealed as well. 7 Years ago, I believed that the solution to end gun violence was to take away all civie guns. Now I became less idealistic and..............

I was hoping that I wouldn't say this but repealing the 2A, in paper or in practice, would at least piss off gun owners. The worst that can happen is another civil war.

Do you agree with the theory that 2A repeal =/= peace but more killing due to crime spike or civil war? If you agree and disagree, why?

Americans are naturally defiant, and that is part of the reason the US exists.

I have heard many calls for a UK style gun turn-in, much like the one they did in response to the Dunblane Massacre of 1997.

Any attempt to do anything remotely similar would end in utter disaster.

Moving seems more appealing everyday.

At least in Japan you can walk down the street with a BB gun without getting the cops called on you.

I'd take civil war even knowing that I'd likely die in it.
How's that saying go; "from my cold dead hands"?

Even if such a ban were to be enacted, criminals would find ways to smuggle "assault weapons" into the U.S., only they would no longer have to worry about a citizen with concealed carry fighting back.

I would disapprove of a weapons turn-in, but I wouldn't fight a war over it. That's not to say a lot of people would.

I'd doubt there would be a civil war. More likely would be a collective dooming of whatever political party and movement that would push such tyrannical legislation.

The whole point of the second ammendment was to do this. To retake power from a government consumed by it.

Whats the first thing every dictator does? Take the power away from the people. That gives the offset in power so large theres no chance of a revolution, only a coup would be able to bring back order.

I've seen YouTube vids of people burying firearms in their backyard with steel cases. So when confiscation day shows up, there is a "lifesaver" as this one guy calls it still available.
I know the answer pool is small, but I'm surprised that most people agree with the civil war theory. I thought I would be called insane for that

So Feinstein packs a pistol.

Where did you pick up that information?

That little tidbit could be gold in the right hands.
