You & I know what is going to happen. The abridgement of 2A rights over the last 70 years merely exacerbated the situation by presenting an illusory salve. The lack of understanding that the whole people constitute the militia has worked only as a temporary stop measure. (The nerve of GWB to call citizens, exercising their legitimate rights, "vigilantes" is beyond the pale.)
The US has never been stable or peaceful, except for a brief period after WWII. There has always been conflict and war; we're merely coming back full circle.
