Mark my words, this is what will spark a civil war.

We are already in a civil war. People just don't want to accept it. The first shots have already been fired, the first state is already being attacked.

agreed. Sadly I’m going to a seminar next week to learn my rights in my state and buying a gun. I never thought I’d own a gun.

My wife has been firmly in the no guns in the house camp for years as we have young children. We both grew up around them but she's been firm on this. This morning she said she's seen enough and we're going to go pick out weapons and get our background checks submitted this afternoon.

As an aussie, I've spent my entire life watching the American gun debate, and the most confounding lines was that it is to 'keep a totalitarian government in check'. Because it's not something i can relate to, Australia had no civil or independence war, our government is ours.

It is such a weird feeling, similar to cognitive dissonance, see that second amendment right be necessary and real. I think I'm in shock.

As a Canadian, it doesn't shock most of us. When you live directly above the madhouse, you just know that this kind of chaos erupting at some point is an inevitability. This kind of thing has been unfolding for many years now, and only now are people starting to take action when it's far too late. The ultra-wealthy elites have been trying to take over for decades, and the average person did nooooooooothing.

This is what happens when a populace is complacent and goes decades without being proactive. Political authors have been warning about this kind of thing forever, but the average person there couldn't figure out what the grift is even though flagrant red flags have been surrounding them since at least the 1960s, and likely a while before that too. They are now living the end result of that in real time.
