What would be the spark?

[jayjohnson600]

Even more difficult by citizens that are stripped of their Consitutional posession of arms.

Still missing my point.

You mean like how it was for a month after 9/11? Where nearly every house had a flag flying, and various patriotic bumper stickers? Everyone was friendly, worried about more than their own, and stuck together? People tend to forget how quickly all that shit disappeared, and how quickly everyone stopped giving a fuck once they returned to their precious American Idol, etc. America has an A.D.D and a short term memory problem. I also think self serving interests are at the highest levels they've ever been. I don't see that happening again, and even if it were to happen, it would be right back to Honey Boo Boo because none of the other stuff affects them.

Yes, but it will have to be a real military force that will really push people.

You might be overlooking the point that enemies don't have to be external/foreign.

You believing there are enough citizens to commit a full scale revolt is laughable. Like Bcoop said, there aren't enough people to make a dent in that scenario.

I don't doubt for a minute that the big city libtards will take what hand they are dealt. There will be bloodshed in the South though, I am certain of it. A lot of crazies will go all in on this issue.

I don't think people understand that we will go on like this until an external force takes advantage of our lack of decisiveness and actually tries takes our country by force.

Americans are going to keep taking what they are given and deal with it. Once a foreign entity sets foot on our soil, then we will see what this country is made of.

I completely agree Americans will take whatever is given by our govt...

If we ever get to the point of where major changes were to take place I am sure Americans will not tolerate it.

I keep saying this, and nobody is paying attention. Americans WILL tolerate it. The large majority of them will. You might not, and good luck to you, but we're so outnumbered it will be a massacre. It's time to make peace with the fact that you are outnumbered, and this is the path we are on. Accept it and move on, no sense in getting worked up over things you can't change.

a) Threat of death

We aren't there yet.

b) Grumbling stomach hunger ( eventually leading to item a )

I think it will be years before this is an issue. When I say years, I mean not in our lifetime.

c) Moral compass of the populace ( causing a reaction that is strong enough to fade item a and b )

There has already been a shift in the moral compass of the populace. This comes back to my response to Mike. You/I/We are outnumbered. We are the minority. I don't see anything that could possibly happen, that will change that.


These are just my opionions, of course.

[jayjohnson600]

The biggest sparks that have ignited in history( from the common population ) are...

a) Threat of death
b) Grumbling stomach hunger ( eventually leading to item a )
c) Moral compass of the populace ( causing a reaction that is strong enough to fade item a and b )

[347Mike]

I hope I am. We've been hearing empty threats since '08...

That's because nothing has actually happened. If we ever get to the point of where major changes were to take place I am sure Americans will not tolerate it.

This country is changing rapidly, all for the worse in my opinion. It pisses me off..

[FATHERFORD]

Most will just hide them, a small group will fight and some will turn them in.

F hiding them...what's the point of having them if they are buried in your back yard.

"Yeah hold up, let me go un-hide my defensive weapons while you fuck me over."

[bird_dog0347]

Gun confiscation, those who won't fight will turn them in... those who will fight will FIGHT!
