Given who would be fighting against the US Government internally if it came down to it, I will be fighting on the side of the government.
The number of guns owned in the country is on pace to exceed the number of people. However, actual gun ownership has been trending down for ~30 years. The crowd is getting smaller and more "enthusiastic", to put it nicely. Those so called small arsenals are getting larger and larger.
Even as those two trends continue to worsen, along with the increase in high profile negative externality incidents, we're really not anywhere near having the political will to do anything. There is no gun safety lobby controlling both politicians and the dialogue in opposition of the NRA. The Brady campaign and the like simply dont command that kind of power.
Since Congress has lately decided on a very unorthodox way of passing legislation, I present the following off the cliff scenario:
Congress passes a law where both sides of the issue enter a game where one side has to present every case they can find where owning a gun has improved a situation. For every one of those, the opposition has to present one hundred cases where owning a gun made the situation worse. Whichever side loses triggers automatic passing of new laws to the liking of the group that won.
