They would never win. How can you win when everyone is dead? The government and the army are still a minority. Also, chances are, not every soldier will turn on his own people in such a war. The US GOVERNMENT ARE TOO VULNERABLE RIGHT NOW TO EVEN RISK TAKING THE CITIZENS GUNS AWAY...
Sorry caps.

Despite the fact you have no command over your posted language, or are too lazy to correct your grade-school mistakes......guns are here. Judging by the materials they are made of, and the scum that prefer to use them for purposes that the average person would not means even with a total ban on guns we have at least 3-4 generations to worry about them.
So that being said....ever watch that video of the peace and free speech loving idiot standing in Tienanmen square against the tanks? Many morons (most left leaning crybabies like yourself) though "how brave, what a beautiful symbol of freedom"......while the rest of us thought to ourselves "what a shame, a country full of idiots let it get that bad, shame on them".
I wonder what method of thinking is the best? But then again, you have demonstrated your too ignorant to even understand the question.

Except what counts as a violent crime in the UK wouldn't class as one anywhere else........just shouting profanity/abuse at someone in the street is recorded as a violent crime.
If violent crimes of the physical nature were the only ones recorded, the numbers would be a damn sight lower.

uh you must be looking at Piers Morgan numbers. Your violent crime rate blows ours out of the water...so yeah. Seems that even after they took your guns you found ways like knives and what not to get your crime fix. Nice try though.

No..
Being logical..
With "what if's"
I honestly believe that our government has no fear of us.. Be honest suss.. When was the last time our democratic wishes were adhered too?
We vote
But every government carries on from the last a program that seems like a plan to destroy the heart and soul of this country.. They are all either completely inept.. Or are indeed carrying out a program...
Disarming us has made us into something to be ignored by the political elite..
Can you absolutely say that is not so?
Can you also say that things would not be be different if we were armed?

An application for an SGC (shotgun certificate) can be obtained from any police station. For an application to be successful applicants must demonstrate to the police that they have satisfactory security in place and that the possession of a shotgun would not constitute a danger to public safety or to the peace. Applicants must nominate a counter-signatory to approve their application and must declare all criminal convictions, no matter how old or trivial.
Shot Gun Certificates (SGC) (valid for 5 years) Grant of Shot Gun Certificate £50.00 Renewal of Shot Gun Certificate £40.00 Replacement of Shot Gun Certificate which has been lost or destroyed £ 8.00 Renewal of Shot Gun Certificate which expires at the same time as a firearms certificate (i.e. co-terminous) £10.00

You can own guns in the UK, depending on the type of course, shotguns are easier to get than most others in the terms of real bullet firing ones not airguns.
Then you can also have rifles, including 50 cal sniper rifles so if the government were TRULY worried they'd stop them being sold. You can even have a handgun PROVIDING you have the correct license and it was made before 1915 if I remember correctly.
I would love to own guns, but I see them as tools for enjoyment or defense and if I were to have weapons and something was to happen I'd seriously have to think before using said weapons on a person or even an animal.
If not the guns that kill people, its the people using guns that kill, proper pychological tests should be run before anyone gets a gun but other than that I think anyone who wants one should be able to decide for themselves.
Failing that seeing as the criminal element in society can ge a gun with no problems and gun crime has only increased why not bring it back, the last few years shows that even with 'no guns' in the publics hands gun violence still happens.
