well, the thing is with civil war, is its very messy. people switch sides pretty easily as soon as the messy stuff starts to effect them personally. people are all talk until they get hit in the face. the soviet union wasnt created by diehard communists, it was created by fence sitters that had their shit kicked in and realized the communists had the best path to power and the best hope for the future
most modern firearms are pretty easy to get into, if there were a real war situation that sort of competency would be trained up quickly. sure, they might not have it at first, but its not like the chuds are an organized army and will be capable of doing mass confiscations quickly and so on.
also, gotta mention that active combat experience and gun shooting experience are very different from each other. you can be a really good shooter and well studied but that doesnt mean youll know how to conduct yourself in a skirmish
more just getting shot at in general. i used to watch videos a lot of civil wars to understand how things start and people at first just have no clue how to orient themselves when something super loud happens near them, even hardcore jihadis that have killed before. like im pretty down to never get in the gritty on that shit ever, its brutal.
When you go to war as a boy, you have a great illusion of immortality. Other people get killed, not you... Then, when you are badly wounded the first time, you lose that illusion, and you know it can happen to you.
I have a feeling most of them don't need to be wounded to lose their nerve though.

I think it's more that they've bought into the fantasy that they'd be killing helpless unarmed people, and don't expect to do much dying themselves.
It's like that Hemingway quote:

Sure there is a few, but most of that is just bluster

because libs are just controlled opposition lol
the rulers would MUCH rather have all POC exterminated overnight, than to have an actual race war.
dead black people is bad for profits, but dead black people AND dead white people is like 10x worse for profits. They don't want POC to fight back.
