The US government is of its people. I don't know what sort of war you're talking about. Do you mean the nutters in some southern states who think US military training is an invasion of their states and are staging drive by attacks on those? I wouldn't worry about them too much. They are just some glenn beck fans or Fox News watchers or something.

The United States government is not of it's people. It's of corperate puppets whose only objective is to pass legislation in favour of their sponsers/masters. The people have started to realize this.

Yes, many of these new tea party people in the government are certainly bringing it down to a new low level, but I think it's pretty retarded to want to go to war against your own country. I assumed this was only a freaky tea party idea because they are so upset that Americans pay taxes and allow gays to marry, and that people can get health insurance. Are you a tea partier? If not, what are some of the specific acts of our government that make you want to go to war against it?

It will have to get to the point where basic necessities are put into jeopardy.
People take drastic measures when they're hungry.

I was once in an office meeting that put me 2 hours late for lunch. They had no idea how close they all were to dying.

Something like only 30% of people own guns in the US, if they were successful in repealing the second amendment, there would be spurts of violence, but honeslty, I don't even see a revolution then. Thry would probably mix it with major tax cuts for corporations.

A lot, lot farther. If there was an attempt at a repeal of the second amendment you'd see it.
Strangely, I've yet to see the gun people rise up like they said they would when the government becomes tyrannical...

Because they can still go jerk themselves off at the range or in the woods thinning out the herd.

Yeah. The populace is being fed shit by the news networks and the politicians. Congress is corrupt as hell, and the president is a fucking pussy. We're going to shit, and we're choosing to ignore it.

The internet would have to shut down. There's never going to be any sort of serious action so long as we're all kept entertained.
