I give you the Bundy ranch standoff. Thousands of armed free men with guns pointed at fifty or so Federales. If one shot had been fired, the resulting hail of bullets would have changed America forever.
I honestly still expect it somewhere. We are by no means out of the woods. In fact, Trumps election may have, in a perverse way, drove us deeper in.
