Interesting times, indeed. The New York Times recently went on record — on its front page — calling for a civil war.
The president, many politicians, and celebrities are jumping on the civil war bandwagon, too.

They would deny doing so, but they would be lying. If they honestly believe they aren’t asking for a civil war they demonstrate staggering ignorance and cluelessness.
Come to think of it, that might be the case.
Because, admit it or not, that’s the result of demanding more anti-gun laws. Especially when they demand outright bans and confiscations.
Unless they are under the impression that gun owners will gladly hand over all the newly banned tools. If they believe that’s how it would go, they don’t know history very well — certainly not as well as gun owners do.
If they offer gift cards or money in trade, people will turn over what they always do — the broken relics, holding on to those they can still use effectively.
So, they want a war, but are they willing to fight it themselves? To bleed, kill, and die? Or do they expect others to die on the altar of their cause? You know the answer.
When gun owners fail to line up to turn their property over to the state, what next? Enforcement, of course.
How do these war-lovers believe the new anti-gun laws would be enforced? The same way all the current illegal, unethical, and unconstitutional anti-gun laws are enforced — by government employees armed with guns.
Gun-control advocates aren’t really anti-gun, they are against your guns. And mine.
They are also not against violence, despite all their hysterical pleas, since all their proposed laws would be enforced (and financed) violently.
Anti-gun advocates are liars, trying to foment a civil war in the name of safety and reasonableness. It would result in the opposite of safety, and is the furthest thing from reasonable.
Yes, let’s start a war in our neighborhoods “for the children.” A war which, if my side lost, would leave families defenseless against the bad guys who will never give up their weapons; a war that wouldn’t result in “safer streets,” but in bad guys facing no serious opposition.
A country that becomes one big “no guns” zone would follow in the footsteps of the “no guns” zones we already suffer — slaughter houses made ready for people intent on killing.
That’s no future I want to enable. What about you?
