I mean guns guns guns people talk about but IEDs won Iraq and can be made IN A CAVE WITH A BOX OF SCRAPS

Yes, if Americans rise up, I think it'll look a lot more like The Troubles than the first American Civil War. For one, because there aren't clear, geographical divisions this time, and indeed, I would guess that guerilla tactics are going to be more effective than guns against a military with overwhelming conventional warfare capabilities.

Absolutely. The US military was tiny at the outbreak of the civil war, and a whole lot of the veterans of the Mexican American war were fighting for the South.

If violence escalates, and I think it might, it will look much more like the troubles than the American Civil war.
