And if we didn't have "boots on the ground", those guerilla tactics would be far less effective. Be kinda hard for them to kill people who aren't even there.

THAT is a Civil War that could turn out differently.

Likely to happen? No. Possible? Absolutely.
Interesting. If people in Montana love their guns more than they love their country, perhaps they should secede.

On another note: Will someone please direct me to a source that verifies that the government is going to strip everyone of their guns?

The water isn't muddied at all. In modern parlance, the amendment means: "Because a well-regulated militia is necessary to the security of a free state, the people's right to bear arms shall not be infringed." The people are the "well-regulated militia."
Context is everything. Those words were written over 200 years ago. The threat of invasion by Great Britain is rather lessened these days.

No actually the same. One goes with the other (at least for now)

No, actually it doesn't.

Do you have a link to a source of information that proves that the U.S. government is going to take people's guns away from them?

you got it wrong, they love what governs our country, and when that governance is taken from the people, what country do they belong to? The constitution is our ruling documents, in it are the rights guaranteed to us, and the right to bear arms is one of them. Take the rights of the people, and there is no reason to stay in a union.
