@fmf saidIf there will be a revolution in America, and I believe that sooner or later one will happen, and given the fact that there are approximately 100 million guns and a trillion rounds of ammunitions in the hands of at least 60 million law abiding citizens, the largest standing army as it were in human history, people will be killed.
What killings will you support? Do you have any names of people you believe should be killed?
If there's a violent revolution in America due to civil unrest, moral decline within the culture and corruption in government who do "you believe should be killed"?

I'm conflicted on the topic of revolution. On the one hand, to free a populace from abject oppression it often seems like it can only come by force On the other hand, once that power is overthrown it seems like we revert back to the same problems as before the revolution. Case in point was the American Revolution. Here we had a group of men risk their very lives to be free ...[text shortened]... r conservative or liberal, should be allowed to decide their own matters as was originally designed.
Go back to school.
@whodey saidI answered this already.
All 3 revolutions were initiated because of wrongs to the citizens of those countries, yet all governments are guilty of "wrongs" as well. So are all citizens justified to throw off their current governments?
Why did you sidestep this question:
If Trump loses in November 2020, will you support "We're talkin' revolution, with guns" action if there is any? What bearing do your Christian principles have on your answer to this?
@secondson saidWill these 60 million elect a president and legislators?

@secondson saidI don't think there will be one. But you do. Can you list some of the people you think should be killed? Would anybody who stayed loyal to the federal government be targeted?

Would you condone the killing of politicians and their aides and bureaucrats? Would you condone the killing of law enforcement officers, and members of the military, national guardsmen, sheriffs etc. who stayed loyal to the federal government?

@fmf saidThe idea of a "revolution" is somewhat absurd in the US. For example, the American revolution was a fluke. Here you had a small army defying the largest most powerful army in the world. The circumstances that allowed the revolution to be successful were many.

1. The large expanse of ocean separating the two continents making it very hard to maneuver militarily.
2. The threat of war with France keeping them preoccupied mainly with that threat.
3. The massive mounting debt that was made worse with expanding the empire to the colonies.
4. France supplying the colonists with military arms and men.
5. The aristocratic class supporting the revolt, suppling both money and brain power to the cause.
6, A never say die rag tag army that got pounded about every battle they fought. More than anything, their undying persistence is what ultimately won with an enemy that had a limited will to fight.
All in all, with all of those attributes to help them win the revolution they barely won. By all rights they should never have succeeded. It was a miracle that it did succeed. Today, if a revolution were to occur those that rebel would have NONE of that. At best, I foresee a time when maybe the government comes for peoples guns. At that point, the government has two choices. They can either try to round up the guns slowly and try to assimilate any rebellious folk into their fold as they can or go hard and fast after them, causing bloody confrontation after bloody confrontation which would be rather embarrassing internationally. Then again, if the media refuses to cover such confrontations, maybe it would all be swept under the rug like you see in other totalitarian regimes.
Of course, the other possibility would be that the government fiscally implodes due to its massive debt. At that point though it would be more of a state of anarchy than revolution, in which either Russia or China fills the gap by slicing and dicing the globe together.
