Question to 2nd civil war larping autist. Have you seen what happens when police gets a free hand? They gladly would gun down anyone, just look at the October 23 happening in Hungary when the people when out to protest again the prime minister. The police is not your friend.
>inb4 but their family
Then would take revenge and do the same but 1000x worse
Police will side with the goverment which would never give up its power

You do realize how outnumbered the police would be if shit really kicked off? They might be able to secure an enclave to hole up with their families but there are going to be vast areas they won't go into for love nor money.
Doesnt natter how much guns if there is not wnough people to use them

Once again, look at Iraq and Afghanistan. In those places, the government was free to use everything at their disposal and they still couldn't "win". Now overseas, the American population is dispassionate towards the people fighting coalition forces and the natives of the country. When police start kicking in American doors, killing fellow American citizens and accidentally killing children and the elderly and it gets plastered all over the news, I doubt the police will be particularly popular.
In Hungary people don't have the weapons to shoot back. The choice goes from "I can die alone resisting this tyrannical government since no one else will fight with me or I hurt these people this time, they'll stop, and I'll go home safely" to "I can die a hero to my people defying this government or I can die to my people as a traitor"
The police will be split about things just like everyone else. Generally speaking I believe they will side with the views of the population in their area, so NYC cops will go left and rural sheriffs will go right.
Also, shooting down some rioters and fighting a civil war are two very different scenarios.

>Hungarian police >comparable to American police
Most likely if poeple protested the president here, as they did during the Bush days, you'd just get laughed at and maybe tear-gassed if they acted up. Look at the Occupy movement. I don't recall any fatalities from that, if there were it wasn't mass killing like you see almost anywhere else in the world. Also, if you think protesting means anything in America, you're probably part of the problem, just on the other end.

>A firearms license may be granted to those over the age of 18 who have no criminal convictions or mental disability, who are deemed reliable and can prove a necessity for owning a firearm.Permission of the police, passing a theoretical, mental and psychological test and strong justification such as membership in a hunting or rifle club is required in order to own semi-automatic rifles,hunting rifles, shotguns or handguns. Automatic rifles are prohibited. Effectively a noguns country
