It might be a good idea to learn from history.
New Constitution Creates A National Government; Will Not Abate Foreign Influence; Dangers Of Civil War And Despotism, Maryland Gazette and Baltimore Advertiser, March 7, 1788.
“Whether national government will be productive of internal peace, is too uncertain to admit of decided opinion. I only hazard a conjecture when I say, that our state disputes, in a confederacy, would be disputes of levity and passion, which would subside before injury. The people being free, government having no right to them, but they to government, they would separate and divide as interest or inclination prompted – as they do at this day, and always have done, in Switzerland. In a national government, unless cautiously and fortunately administered, the disputes will be the deep-rooted differences of interest, where part of the empire must be injured by the operation of general law; and then should the sword of government be once drawn (which Heaven avert) I fear it will not be sheathed, until we have waded through that series of desolation, which France, Spain, and the other great kingdoms of the world have suffered, in order to bring so many separate States into uniformity, of government and law; in which event the legislative power can only be entrusted to one man (as it is with them) who can have no local attachments, partial interests, or private views to gratify.”
Many possible scenarios can lead toward the commencement of aggressive internal war for profit, something euphemistically called a Civil War.
The current Dictator in power issues the orders required to confiscate all privately owned firearms.
A number of state governments attempt to return the Dictatorship to rule of law, failing to do so those state governments attempt to secede.
Missing the point however is the already demonstrated fact that the creation of a dictatorship (as was done in 1789) inevitably leads to various forms of internal conflict large and small.
