I had to do it again.

I had to warn yet another "politically left of center" person that the surest way to ignite another American civil war, and by consequence, jerk the American "main stream" considerably to the political right is to attempt a federal gun ban. And just as they don't believe that gun control actually increases crime rates, these "politically left of center" people just do not, perhaps can not even, believe me when I say a civil war is an inevitable consequence of a national firearm ban.

I find it interesting that these people are so eager to advance their ideal policies that they are willing to use any means to achieve them. If that means violating the 1st Amendment of the US Constitution by enacting a "Fairness Doctrine", that's ok. If it means declaring all persons that disagree with them to be insane or outright criminals, that's fine too. If that means violating the 2nd, 4th and 5th Amendments of the US Constitution to forcefully confiscate all the guns in America, then that's what they're willing to do.

And yet, and yet, somehow they believe that these attacks will go unanswered. That those of us who disagree with them will just sit back as they declare us criminally insane and deprive us of our rights.

What will it take for them to understand that we will not submit without incident? Ho many will die so that they may be educated?
