At an annual chance of 0.8% per year, the USA has a 55% chance of a major violent revolution in any given 100 year span. At an annual chance of 0.5% per year, we have a 39% chance of a major violent revolution in a given 100 year span. On our soil. That’s just math.
These things are much worse than floods, and the people who suffer during them are largely not the elites running the show, they’re the people at the ground level, whether they’re participating in the revolution or not.
Syria is sitting at almost half a million dead and around ten million displaced into Europe and that revolution is still only about half-cooked. |

Somebody is channeling Mr. Spock.
Revolution is an imponderable. Had Hillary been elected, I'd have said a revolution was a near certainty.....with Trump, it isn't 0% but it's perty darn close. But, then, who will be our next president?----and when? 2020 or 2024? |

Revolution aka War. Guess what. People will die. Husbands, Wives, Son's, and Daughters. On both sides. It is a nasty,destructive thing. You think the military would prevent and squach it. Ya, like Afganistan. Just ask any military what it is like. It would rip our country apart for years and make us vulnerable to outside takeover. It would kill a good chunk of the population. Those who own weapons would be either dead or at the forefront of the fight. To the elite who think they are running this country, you would be the prime targets. Revolution is hell and should be avoided, but not discounted. And certainly not reduced to a statistical value.
Sorry for the rablings. To all I do wish you a safe and happy holiday season. |

| I now think the only way to control handgun use is to prohibit the guns. And the only way to do that is to change the Constitution. — M. Gartner, then President of NBC News, USA Today, January 16, 1992, pg. A9 |
