In the end the result is up to the military as no amount of civilians with guns would stand a chance against it. Somehow I think that if the government/president would go berserk, leaders of the military would have sense to object the attack and stand down against civilians. On the other hand if some civilian/militia/semi-military group would try coop, the military would lay waste of them. |

If the Government tried to do something drastic like that they wouldn't have the support of the military. At least not the majority of it. Including local law enforcement. |

Anything you assault someone with is an assault weapon. And the guns being defined as assault weapons are rarely used in shootings. Most shootings involve shotguns and pistols. Also, they are merely semi-automatic rifles. There's nothing special about them besides the way they look. As for the confiscating guns, that is a violation of the 2nd Amendment and the Constitution. All government officials including the military and law enforcement have sworn to protect the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. I believe that the vast majority would not go against that oath. |
