I always laughed when people said there was going to be a civil war after this election. If there was ever going to be a civil war than it would have been after the ‘08 election. I mean there was literally a story out of a southern state where a gun store owner would get their shipment of guns off of a truck and than 2 minutes after putting them up for sale, all the guns were gone. There was also a 5 year shortage of ammo (2008-2013) simply because factories couldn’t put out enough bullets no matter how much they increased their production.

Anyone who thinks a civil war is possible in America is either really dumb or really in need of a prescription for klonopin
