It was a cakewalk in NOLA post-Katrina. I can't find any instances of homeowners shooting at gun-grabbing LEOs.

I appreciate your skepticism, but not exactly.

The city of New Orleans is in the middle of paying a price. I'm sure you are current with that (NRA Federal court).

Some people in New Orleans did refuse to part with their weapons. No shoot out occurred. Plus, the situation in Miami after Andrew was totally different. Everyone was armed, and there was little crime. Even in Liberty City.

Then again, in the Revolutionary War, only 33% of the colonists fought the King. Pretty bad odds, huh?

Again, I appreciate your skepticism, but what would go down, over time, would make our Civil War look like a walk in the park on a warm spring day.

Trust me.

“...what would go down, over time, would make our Civil War look like a walk in the park on a warm spring day.”

Trust me.

Considering the dead from the civil war as a percentage of the population, such a conflict today would result in several million dead, I think the figure I read was 4 million.

Remember too, that there would no doubt be foreign players,
Russia, China etc that would want to influence the out come.
Not a pretty picture to contemplate.
