Well, I don't think the government is going to DELIBERATELY do something suddenly to provoke a revolution. Then again, the Democrats didn't deliberately engineer their loss of Congress, did they? Remember, these guys are falible, and don't have a very good feel for how we will react. They're perfectly capable of doing something which triggers a reaction without intending it.
Remember, we're people, not Helium molecules; Our behavior isn't linear or predictable. It's more like a lump of U235; You've got one pound, it's a little warm. Two pounds, a little warmer. You figure at about 100 pounds it will heat your house, but somewhere well short of that it blows up in your face, and takes out the whole neighborhood.
Far more likely than a direct attempt at gun confiscation followed by spontaneous revolution, is the sort of scenario laid out by John Ross in his book, Unintended Consequences. They will continue to piss us off, more and more, and at some point somebody snaps, starts offing the people responsible, and it catches on as a fad. No armies manuvering in the night, just anti-gun politicians and bureaucrats being assasinated at an ever increasing pace, until Belfast looks like a walk in the park. While they go balistic, and attempt to impose the totalitarian state they've dreamed of, long before they were ready.
That's how I think it will go down.
