    I could definitely see a rise in terrorist attacks from these cultists.

      I'm starting to come around to your perspective on this after reading a social media post tonight -- about a sheriff who says he'll "uphold the constitution" if the federal government tries to confiscate guns out of his county. The comments were littered with people who at least claim to be ready to act the way you suggested.

        Well, that is a different issue, though. It is why I think Beto's mandatory buy back is a bridge too far, and a bad idea to even suggest. I don't see revolution for Trump, but could see it over mandated gun confiscations. Hell, there was so much unfounded fear of that under Obama it led to record gun sales.

          just to reiterate, I don't think this would escalate into a large conflict, for the reasons stated above ... but I can certainly see skirmishes breaking out, and certain groups on both sides using them to further their own agendas.
          It certainly feels that way. But I'm distrustful of that feeling and am curious about evidence.

            I thought this could use a re-set. it seems a likely outcome if the Nation continues down this path of States essentially telling the Feds to go f*ck themselves and the SCOTUS becoming a branch of the GOP/Cristian Conservatives. I can't see continuing without more and more protests and eventual violence.

            I hope it doesn't, but I'm not seeing a clear path to avoiding it's inevitability.

            If I whisper my wicked marching orders into the ether with no regard to where or how they may bear fruit, I am blameless should a broken spirit carry those orders out upon the innocent, for it was not my hand that took the action merely my lips which let slip their darkest wish. ~Daniel Devereaux 2011
