One real problem with what you are saying. The only side that even brings up a civil war is yours. And yours talks about stockpiling for WHEN it happens. Are you saying that if the Dems win heavily at the ballot box that you will see that as a reason to have a civil war? If that is the case, it's not the Dems that are the danger of causing a Civil War. It's your bunch.
And you need to quite giving Rump so many free rides. He's a friggin embarrassment. He goes from one embarrassment to another almost weekly. And the only reason he does this is because you won't call him on any of his BS. He's always been a spoiled little boy. Spoiled little boys will always push the envelope until they find the limits. So far, you haven't shown him the limits. So he just gets worse and worse. Now he's in serious trouble because the Dems have had enough and so have the Moderates. Your 33% isn't enough to pull him out of it this time. It's like a spoiled little brat that didn't get the spanking as a child finally getting in serious trouble with the authorities. Well, Congress is the Authorities this time. Now, in his own way (by demanding) he is begging you to cover for him once again. It's too late.
This is part of the commie revolution. The legislative branch does not have the power to control the executive branch. That's why we have separation of powers.
I never said if the commies win, we need to have a civil war. What I said is that when the commies remove a President unjustly, such as having secret clandestine inquiries, refusal to let the opponents even so much as see their transcript, and overturn an election, it is time for a civil war, because everything they do is unconstitutional.
The election is where citizens get to vote in or out a candidate for Prescient, not the legislative branch. This is particularly true when it's the opposing party that has been talking impeachment, and looking for a crime to match their punitive actions. That's not the way it works for real Americans.
Once a President is in office, he is bound to operate within the confines of the Office. If he doesn't then there is a system in place to deal with it. What you are seeing is that system in action. One of the jobs of the Congress is to oversee the executive branch. Rump has tried (and been very effective because of your free rides) in negating that. Well, the chickens have come to roost.
Same goes for gun regulations. At some point, society will demand some gun regulation. You and I may not fully agree on the level that Society settles for firearms regulation but it will happen. The only thing one side or the other can do is to dump hundreds of millions into the system to delay it. But in the end, Society will get what it wants. It could be from a ballot box, Executive Branch, Legislative or Judicial. But all of these, in the end, go back to the ballot box and the Constitution of the United States and the State Constitutions.
Meanwhile, you are going to scream that it's Unconstitutional and cry "Just wait until our next Savior comes, you'll see".
Our state was one of the late states to get CCW laws in place. Since then, classes have been backlogged and still are. Now, more females are getting their CCW licenses than men. When our CCW law came about, we had a liberal Democrat Governor at the time. Even he wasn't stupid enough to veto the bill, and the following bills making carrying a weapon more lawful than ever.
Bottom line is that the interest in gun ownership and self-defense grows every day in this country. At one time, we had one indoor firing rage in the Cleveland area. You walked in, and got a booth right away. You had your choice of stalls.
Men would bring their guns to the range, and the women would sit behind the glass either watching them, or reading a book or something. Today, it's at least an hour wait to get a booth at that same range. And the women are not sitting behind the glass watching their menfolk having fun. They are in front of the glass now with them.
That's besides the fact that several other ranges have opened up in the area, and while I've never been to the other ones, I've been told they too have an hour wait to get a booth.
