Voted yes because its structure is incredibly arcane regardless of whether you think there should be a right to bear arms or not.

I actually think that a constitutional right to bear weapons is absolutely insane and crazy but that is the standard foreigner position on the issue Tongue

It's going to be a short Civil War II when your side ain't got no weaponry. Glad I have people like Mr. R keeping me safe and protecting the ideals of America from Gen Z fascists trying to strip it all away.

e: FTR, I voted Undecided back in May since I was a standard anti-gun northeasterner but didn't want to vote No on such an extremist question. The last month has all but confirmed just what I was leaving enough room for - that we are not a civilized country that is post-political violence. Very dangerous extremist ideologies are now floating in the mainstream because of the economic doom suddenly faced by millions. I liked to believe that we lived in a permanent liberal democracy (with the prospect of better) and the only people to fear were lone wolf terrorists with nothing to live for who we needed to take guns from, but some very nasty ideas have taken a deep stronghold over violent swaths of the populace and are supported by mainstream outlets. Guns are needed now more than ever to protect ourselves from mobs that our government cannot control.

A 2nd civil war will not happen, but if it did, it would be fought by the US Army divided in 2, not by the people themselves. People would be conscripted into the army and forced to fight. And of course the army would supply them with weapons.

What you say is accurate for an insurgency type of assymetrical warfare, but not for a conventional civil war.
