I remember discussions on this forum from years ago with some people openly wishing for revolution in the misguided belief our side had the guns so we'd obviously prevail. I recall mentioning that it was ill-advised to just assume our side would win because we have more guns. I think this, along with the well orchestrated violence in various cities around the country, is a perfect illustration of why I've always felt our side wouldn't automatically win.

We may have more guns, but right now they have guns, too. They also have the political backing and the media pushing their agenda. Most importantly, they seem to have the will to carry out their desires to transform America. So far, our side has been pretty impotent in terms of any response.

We're potentially one election cycle away from waking up to find ourselves in the new Venezuela...or Cuba.
