america may have tons of guns, but when what's probably the majority of them are owned by people who seemingly approve of what's happening, will there ever be the necessary large scale resistance?

[–] Triasha@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

For what I and probably you want to happen? Almost certainly not.

For something to happen? I figure yes. I will be doing what I can to shape the future with peaceful protest.

Yes, if Americans rise up, I think it'll look a lot more like The Troubles than the first American Civil War. For one, because there aren't clear, geographical divisions this time, and indeed, I would guess that guerilla tactics are going to be more effective than guns against a military with overwhelming conventional warfare capabilities.

Absolutely. The US military was tiny at the outbreak of the civil war, and a whole lot of the veterans of the Mexican American war were fighting for the South.

If violence escalates, and I think it might, it will look much more like the troubles than the American Civil war.

I wouldn't be surprised to find more of those in use in the US I. The coming years.
