There is gun debate Pro's and Con's.That is not what this is about..
What if:
The U.N. decides it wants all the guns off the street and does a global sweep For said guns.Calling all Armed forces globally.
How would the American people be able to retain their 2nd amendment if the U.N.decides differently. Granted the US currently as the most influence with the UN. But that could change in a blink of an eye.
I could see a bloodbath occur over Stupidity "The thought of their gun given Right"
On a separate note; It would tie in with Einsteins Quote"I know not what WW3 will be fought with but WW4 will be fought with sticks and stones."
Americans This ? is one you have probably never thought of..If you have,I am glad I am not alone..

Fortunately, I think we would be better off then most people do. Being ex-military, I know a lot of military guys, from all branches including the Coast Guard. I don't think that the majority of service men and women would follow the order to fire on American citizens like that. I believe, mostly that The U.S. Military may in fact mutiny in such a situation, or at least the enlisted men and women, and a good deal of the officers. It may take a while, but I find it very hard to believe that most Naval captains would use their weapons against U.S. cities. Firing on civilians is something that nobody wants to do, but some will still do under orders or out of ignorance, however, firing on civilians that may be your friends and relatives is something completely different, and that is something that I believe wouldn't happen on a very large scale. So, it could come to pass that the military would overthrow the government or abandon it to protect the citizens of the United States from a U.N. invasion.
That being said, I don't think the U.N. would be so up front with it. I believe it would be a little more cloak and dagger. That's assuming they would even try something on such a scale at all.
If any nation or entity was to try a military invasion of the U.S. I don't think it would be very successful, especially in rural areas.
