U.S Civil War 2?

A war against terrorism - terror, can never be won. A particular portion of the right wing is intent on taking away civil liberties and this, a perfect excuse. Another well armed one is intent on defending them and this is, a perfect excuse.

U.S citizens have been increasingly arming themselves with firearms since the attack (not to the extent of Y2K though). Police budgets are reportedly going to skyrocket and they're being equipped with the latest in military technology, to handle large scale violence.

If things go to far here (military police everywhere, etc) they'll come down to the cities in truckloads....

does anyone remember when the military was practicing urban assault tactics... sometime in 1999?

Vaguely...

Full scale riots in the wake of terrorists attacks seems unlikely to me, it would have to be totally massive. Is the U.S gearing up for a war with it's own population??

For NRA types, ammo = bragging rights.

To paraphrase The Onion: "what if their base is in Detroit? I guess we'd have to go to war with Michigan..."
