Also interesting is one tidbit from Maher: "Liberals, do you really want a real war? Do you really think you can win? Conservatives have all the guns and they know how to use them"

I don't know if this is an appeal to the government to confiscate guns, a call for liberals to arm themselves, or genuine concern.

I'm very familiar with Maher, was a fan for decades. He is for strict gun control and he admits he is a hypocrite because he owns a gun, and wants to be able to own a gun himself, but he doesn't want anyone else owning guns.

I would say however that his fear of a growing divide is legitimate concern, but he's basically saying "Libs stop calling for a civil war" in a semi-jokey manner. He is a comedian after all.
