to defeating a civilian population of 300,000,000 strong and most armed as well? It would be a lopsided battle if you ask me. Sure the military could
inflict massive casualties , but they would not be able to stop the massive wave of people attacking them. It would make the Iraqi insurgency(to which
they have had problems quelling) look like kid and play.
Civil war would not just be the people against the goverment, you would see an escelation of gang warfare in the streets, it would also be race
against race, rich against poor.
The goverment troops stand back and wait and wait until the citizens do the most damage to each other before bringing in foreign troops.
It is being put out in the media that Obama wants to take away the guns which in turn makes people who would not normally buy a gun get one, the more
guns out there turned against each other with people in a state of panic.
Civil war will put a stop to transport of food to stores, people will kill for food in less than a week and will also kill to protect their food.
Remember that nothing gets put out in the media without a reason, so ask yourself "why are we being told that we are going to lose our guns?"
