Could we have another civil war?

We have always had states' rights under the 10A. It is the basis for our Civil War. There are other concerns that are more realistic.

For example, soldiers and police are not required to obey illegal orders. Not all soldiers and LEOs will obey an Order 66 to fire upon American citizens.

Additionally, Texas has a provison in their statehood. They can break into four separate states, thereby granting more votes, more representation and more difficult enforcement issues.

American states grant sheriffs power over federal troops. They also have the right to deputize citizens. If the federal government sent 1,000 soldiers to your state, they might be met by 10,000 deputies.

Failing that, there are 300 million firearms in America. The owners have stockpiled cartridges, spare parts, and reloading equipment. It would take decades to hunt it all down.

And to make sure no shots were fired, you'd have to confiscate it all on the same day at the same time. As you remember, the Confederacy had no heavy industry needed for artillery, railroad tracks, plated vessels, etc., and they came very close to winning about two yeaars into the conflict.

Any federal representative would have to be an idiot to attempt this. Oh, wait, they're lead by Chucky and Dianne.

Here's a fun fact, Biden suggests you use a shotgun at close range. And Dianne Feinstein has a CCW permit. Sounds like the elite have a special set of rules.
