  That’s a vaguely optimistic way to think about civil war, but I’m doubtful that

  1. people perpetually scared enough to find owning guns in urban environments necessary are going to disagree with the fear-mongering rhetoric a president-king invokes.

  2. owning guns translates into any sort of effective resistance

  3. it was worth killing children and civilians for decades in the hopes of an eventual opportunity to fight something

  4. civilians with their own guns won’t be choosing their own targets

  5. a sliver of power finally used to destroy a country is more important than the peaceful maintenance of representative democracy.
