  1. It's not going to happen
  2. If it did, they would lose

That doesn't mean I don't take it seriously. We already have electrical substations getting shot by "Y'all-Qaeda"...

Well even if they lose, I'm sure that won't be much comfort to the good people they kill along the way. I just don't think we should be glib at the thought of open civil conflict. Looking at it this way convinced me that I don't want to be without the means to defend myself and my loved ones in the event our "cold" civil war suddenly becomes "hot".
