Nah, that's not going to happen. So, there's some i-dotting and t-crossing going on here. The election will take place, either in October or at another time. You're not going to start shooting anyone. Are you even from California?
You may have missed my point. I do not see the circus in California as the last straw by any means, but simply another indicator of the widening chasm between the various races, religions and world views in our society.
After rereading my previous post, I was unable to find any threatening remarks against anything or anyone, however, I do not think it far-fetched to believe that one day the fabric will tear irreparably under the strain. When, and if that day occurs, I intend to stand against the forces of darkness, no matter what banner they may wave.
In answer to your last question, no I am not a resident of California. Whew!

I just grow weary of empty predictions of some sort of "civil war," made so frequently here. Whether it's gay marriage, a ban on .50 caliber rifles, or just about anything, some folks pop up here and say that the world as we know it is ending and there's gonna be a civil war.
There's not going to be a civil war, Cracker. Despite everything, this is still a pretty great country. Sure there are things I don't like that go on, but I'm not dusting off my firearms.
One thing's certain, those who believe that they will emerge the victors in this "civil war" are fooling themselves. They represent maybe a couple of percent of the population.
And they're not the only ones who have arms. For myself, I live in a nation of laws, and I'm a veteran, so I've sworn to uphold the Constitution. If folks start shooting because they don't like some court decision, then I and many, many others will be on the opposite side.
Don't like the way things are going? Then get out there and change folks minds, get some new people elected, and throw the bums out.
There's not going to be a civil war, you see, so I wouldn't wait around for it.
