Revolting?

[xoxoxoBruce]

Proving your point? Are you nuts? Your statement was;

As an example, if the government outlaws guns, only the pro-gun contingent will revolt, and they would be viewed as outlaws by everyone else.

I said that is not so. There will be people who are not pro-gun but pro-freedom who will side with the rebels because the believe in freedom.
You can't even keep track of what your point is or you don't know how to express it. Either way, my statement was completely opposite the one you made.

Ok, Bruce, I concede. People will be divided into

Agree, join revolt
Agree, sit out
Agree, fight against revolt
Disagree, join revolt
Disagree, sit out
Disagree, fight against revolt
Don't care, join revolt
Don't care, sit out
Don't care, fight against revolt

Did I miss anything?

Most likely there would be people that join up because, even though they don't care about the particular bitch the group starting it has, they have there own grudge against the government.

I don't see the government making one move that could cause a revolution. But, if they keep pissing off this group and that group, until the vast majority is fed up, then one move could trigger it.

It's easier to stir shit up when you have a group with lots of gripes. That way instead of one person saying the government did this, everyone agrees, rally over..... you get a series of gripes, everyone agrees with each, and the emotions build with each gripe until the shit is well stirred. It's a big help when you're hiding in the woods, in the rain/snow, low on food and no place to plug in your contact lens warmer.
