Re "civil war"

I think we would be very safe as Friendly Fire will take out about 90% of nutjobs.

1. The righties call it a "civil war", it will be them shooting kids and unarmed people in the back

They'll also find out that there are plenty of people they don't like who don't need semi-automatic weapons to hit targets.

2. The problem is they think they can win....

Which is why they no longer fear moving towards Fascism.

3. Seriously, though. I'm willing to bet good money that...

The upcoming "Civil War", if it happens, will look less like "The War Between the States”, and more like the Irish “Troubles” that plagued Northern Ireland for so long.

I read somewhere near the end of things there were only about 30 hardcore IRA members, but they still managed to cause problems, and a whole lot of resources needed to be devoted against them.

4. Gun giveaway?

5. Their health problems will be the main impediment.

There's a reason everyone here jokes about their Rascal Scooters and calls them the "Gravy Seals", "Meal Team Six", and the "Delta Forks Brigade".

6. What they are doing is.......

Making our side fight in their style. They will described political shootings as "isolated incidents". What they are looking for is what I call the Reason. They want progressives to take up arms and kill them. And when that happens, then they have the "liberty" to extract extreme retaliation. The really sad thing is, we are close to giving them what they want. It is because all peaceful and civil methods have been tried and either was given win only for the short term when they took what was fought for away or total failure through ignorance. If there is something to fight for, it is total permanency of what is fought for.
