We also lost Vietnam, and what sort of tactics and equipment did the Vietnamese communists use? The federal military truly is not as powerful as many want to think it is...
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.
Go to Montana and tell them you're taking away their guns.
They would vote for secession in a heartbeat and quite likely, a number of other Southern, Western and Midwestern states would join them.
You would basically have a few morons in New York, New Jersey, Illinois, Massachusetts and California (combined with a bunch of crystal worshipers in certain urban centers) imposing their will on everyone else.
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 First Amendment gives nutjobs the right to spew hate and filth, too. People go nuts, as they rightly should, when you suggest limitations on free speech. The Second Amendment is no different. You don't take rights away because a few people misuse them.
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.

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.
