We are at the point that the radical right, especially if they get punched in the elections, that the only way they see they can impose their will be the ammo box.

Realize, a civil war will be short and sharp... nothing like the blue and the gray... unless we see the rise of multiple guerrilla cells all over.

Now knowing this does not mean I am looking forwards to that... in any way, shape or form. But after 2008 the militia movement got an injection on steroids and have grown by leaps and bounds.
