Um, did you forget about cliven bundy? What happened when armed federal agents were confronted by armed Americans willing to stand their ground?
That is right, they creapt away tail between legs.
They backed down because an isolated incident wasn't worth a massacre. The government would have 100% won that war if they wanted to.
Now answer my scenario. The government passes a gun control law and mandates everyone turn in the weapons registered to them. Several people don't comply, the police are then dispatched to go door to door, arrest those who didn't turn in their weapons, and confiscate them.
Would you stand up on your own against 20+ policemen? Would you kill your own countrymen in that fight? If you fought back, do you think the government would have any problem in beating you with overwhelming force?
See i think just like you. So do A million plus others. We know whats at stake and we know how to approach it. you just have to open your mind and become your Enemy...Remember...Be The Ball

And this delusional thinking is the reason so many will be killed if ever a revolution about guns.
The thinking that you have as much support as you do or that you will win. If there ever was one...I am pretty sure tanks, cruise missiles, fighter jets or better equipped personal that would know the land very well would crash that movement with ease. Not too mention the majority would be groups of highly unorganized individuals who would have no leader in place or structure.
Sure you may have some vets but the majority would most likely be guys and gals who can hit a non moving target with great accuracy and declare themselves ready for war or people who play war on the weekend and think it is the exact same as the real thing or people who play COD and think they know what it takes to win.
I mean good luck and all, but be realistic.
There already is gun control laws..has been since the turn of the century. What was needed was Government Control, because they are the ones who have created this environment at every breath

A better question knowing the result of losing the 2nd amendment right is why wouldn't all Americans do the same? Why wouldn't you?
I would think the majority of American are not as nuts about guns as the ones calling for a revolution for them.
Why should fellow American put their life on the line for you and your guns, if they cannot even get you to agree to discuss some reasonable measure about gun control?
Why should they care if you can have a gun, when you don't care who has one and puts fellow Americans at risk?
You don't care about those Americans who ask for better control of who has access to guns, why should they care about you?
You see, the gun-violence problem…is part of the gang problem…and gangs are a necessary…part of the drug business…and the drug business…must never be interrupted…because it makes a lot of money…for a lot of people…important people…

Hmm. 30 thousand gangs in the US. 850,000 members.
People dedicated to crime, quite dedicated.
They have guns.
Perhaps, just perhaps they can get many of these guns from illegal sources, which would allow them to bypass the tightest registration laws. And, don’t forget, they shoot those guns.
At people.
Before you jump in with data about where gang members get their guns, I should warn you that you can cherry-pick your answers.
If you have an agenda, you can find the answer you desire. Oh, they get their guns from gun shows.
They get them legally from gun shops.
They get them from their friends, from other gang members.
They get them from smugglers.
They get them from aliens who live in the Orion Belt.
I haven’t found an overall reliable analysis that answers this question—but , I believe that, no matter what gun laws are passed in America, gangs will continue to get guns.
Call it an intuitive belief.

In a matter of days there wouldnt be any gov employees left to try it.
Because if they kill ten of us for every one of them, we still win easily.

They could beat you without firing a shot. Freeze your finances and those of your associates. Suddenly you have no money, no residence, and can't work. That would beat your resistance while the
y sit in armored bunkers.
