But that 1/4th will be the pro-gunners, so.... doesn't affect me, as I am anti-gun, so I'm safe

This right here is exactly the attitude I speak of when I described the modern Americans' approach to the rights of others.
It's ok if they are all wiped out because you're anti-gun and they're not?
So not only do you have a selective view of gun rights, but you also have a selective view of the right to life?
Interesting.

The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”

I Should add this as I see it.
Gun Owners in America are armed for a reason. They are armed for the reason of not being disarmed. This is why I believe trouble is comming. The majority of decent gun owners know exaclty why they are armed, and its to stop people from disarming them.
Well, if the US govt is as evil as you claim they are, then they'll have no problem wiping out 1/4 of the population, I guess, so they WILL win. But that 1/4th will be the pro-gunners, so.... doesn't affect me, as I am anti-gun, so I'm safe

Do I have to point out the glaring circular reasoning you present above

Standard divide and conquer techniques being employed here in my humble opinion. I believe that most if not all of the anti-gun advocates just cannot see this comming through the fog. They are either in denial or blind to the facts.

Where is the motive
I fail too see why any sane man would attempt to create and lead a civil war in the US without very good reason.

I'd bet that there are internal government studies going on right now about the feasibility of disarming American citizens in the simplest way without any bloodshed. These scenarios are surely being discussed.
