It's pretty doubtful we are going to have another civil war anytime soon. What we need is to clean house, vote out most of those career politicians in Washington, and at the state level as well. They've all gotten too cozy, comfortable, and friendly, to do the job objectively. Most are more concerned with keeping their chair, rather than doing their job. None of them should be there, because it pays so well. They should be there to make a positive impact, do things that will lead to a higher position.
Seriously though, how many people actually use an assault weapon for anything more than target practice? I don't read to many stories in the news where people used them for home protection, it's usually a pistol, one or two shots. Do people take them out deer hunting these days? Does Bambi really need a 25 round clip to take down? I can see hunting to feed your family, not just for sport and a trophy.
Lots of people hate our government, but what sort of government would they want to replace it with? Don't think any government will ever be perfect, but think ours is still the best one on the planet. We have a few problems, nothing that can't be fixed, just need to get people out to vote smart.
