I'm not with this other guy, but you don't seem to understand that we lost those wars because there was no end goal. Occupation is not something you can do, the people are either on your side and willing to take up the mantle (Korea and keep you there long term) or want you to GTFO (Vietnam/Afghanistan). The issue with assuming that the army would side with the anti-gun crowd is really not smart, a large portion of the military, which are going to be the ones patrolling the street corners would be gun owners themselves. This isn't even to bring up the point that if your neighbor is bombed, unless you live a mile from them, your place is also getting destroyed.

Anyone who wants a civil war to show one side or the other they're right....is insane.
