That's an old view of the civil war, when one side declared war over the other, and each had distinct features/uniforms
If any, I think it's going to look more like some sort of free for all first, with no clear camp defined just individuals banding with each others or not all over the place, every men for themselves, and it can remain like that for a while. Like in south africa, there's no war officially, and shit keeps going on a limp like that
Interesting point. Though, I don't think it would be a free for all. The gun owning side would be less organized at first. The side without the guns would be funded, as usual, and thus coordinated by a centralized party. Propaganda would suggest it's an organic militia, but it would in fact be supported by a central entity.
This would cause the gun owning side to form ranks. Thus ending up with a 1v1 style civil war. Again, I think it would still collapse pretty quickly.
