If the USSC overturns the appeal, we have a civil war. It’s that simple. Unlike the first civil war, this one will be quite different and the brutality will be very concentrated.
We’ve fought for years through the ballot box, the soap box, and it’s gotten us very little. If this fails, we are at the point where Americans will realize that the only box left is the ammo box and they will do it because to wait allows the anti-freedom forces time to hurt us more.
I think this is some of what the USSC is debating. I think they will grant Cert. and broaden the ruling simply because they know that to do anything else will cause a great deal of strife and violence. That is besides the legal points and the Constitutional points.

There may be some isolated instances of violence. But I really doubt the average American gun owner would care enough about this to risk their comfy existence, not to mention their life. We as a nation are way too soft. We did nothing in 1994 when they banned scary-looking guns, for example.
I think the more likely scenario if the USSC rules no individual right is a push for a constitutional amendment to "clarify" the 2nd for those too stupid to understand plain English. Not to say it would pass.
On that note, there is a theory that whatever the verdict, it will be 9-0 - not because it is unanimous, but to conceal who actually voted which way.
Nope. No civil war. If the SCOTUS overturns Parker, there won’t be a peep. It will be business as usual and Sarah Brady will have tea and crumpets and bubbly and smoke some weed. The NRA will spout off and sniffle and go back to sleep.
No civil war. Nothing. Not a peep.
