"Civilians don't need guns. You are living in a developed country. You are safe."

except for all those times in history when people needed guns to fight oppression

its infantile to assume that such a situation will never occur again

"Do you really need to sacrifice a bunch of children to the slaughter every year"

killing and death are a fact of reality and that will be the case whether guns are completely eradicated from society or not

"just to keep your illusion that with your gun you can go take down the government?"

this is how america as an independent country was formed to begin with... wtf are you talking about?

Look above for what you got wrong there.

Besides, you can hardly compare 250 years ago with how it would play out nowadays. Have fun with your peashooters against tanks, IFVs, MRLs, helicopters, drones and jets. The government would actually have to try very very hard to loose any civil war

You assume that the entire military would side with the government. The point of a civil war would be that it would be split. Both sides would have tanks, FIVs, MRL, helicopters, drones, and jets.

And if we were going to talk Civil War over something like say Gun Laws. Who do you think the military members would side with? 90% of the people I know in the military or where in the military are people that grew up with guns in their family, grew up hunting, continue to own guns. Do you think those same military people are going to point their guns at their family and friends?
