Nobody is calling out for civil war.
Yes, some are. I have seen it a few times online, but people tend ti talk big on the internet. What really scared me was when I heard it in person.
I live in a pretty conservative area and I was at a bar the day after Charlie Kirk was assassinated and some woman said, and I quote, “The liberals don’t realize that this means war. They’re not ready, but I am. Send me to the frontlines!” Her friend asked, “You mean you want a civil war?” And she answered, “Yes. They fired the first shot. It’s on now.”

Yeah, some people definitely are, especially on the internet.
Sure, people have a right to stand their ground. That right might not be recognized by the legal system, but some rights go beyond the ability of mortal men to give or take away.
That doesn’t change the fact that if they outnumber you, then you might (if you’re both skilled and lucky) take one out with you before the rest of them blast you.
If they’re going to blast you anyway then you have nothing to lose, but for most people it seems like the best possible outcome would be to avoid escalating as much as possible.

And do you know what it took to stop the Gestapo?
I’ll give you a hint, it was more than just a ragtag group of German rebels with guns refusing to comply.

There was people in germany who fought the gestapo, they didn’t wait to be saved by the allies thst wouldn’t helped them if Hitler didn’t declare war on them
