For a recent comparising of gun attitude. Gas station in neghtbour town got robbed by gun armed robbers. A costumer and two others came to the conclusion that the robbers weren't having serious guns (shot no warning shot), went driving (unarmed) after the muggers and catched them. The guns was shown to be soft air guns.
What are the odds of this making sense in the US?

Victory or death vs victory or too much vasted resources. Somehow I think civil wars have slightly higher motivation involved, compared to colonial independence. Not counting how much different the equipment has changed.

Hopefully people that is not intending to make a military coup or shoot at civilians? That's were the ideological battle to create or prevent as successful armed rebellion takes place.

Considering human nature, beuaracracy, entitlement attitudes of the have-nots and the big picture as a whole, anyone who trusts in the American government to protect them 100% from crime is living on another planet.
Reality vs ideas. Who will win?

You do know that the crime rate is much lower today than 20 years ago? And lower than 30 years ago. THE GOVERMENT SUCKS AND CAN'T DO ITS JOB, SO WE NEED THE GUNS TO PROTECT OURSELF.
