23. They want war? Fine.

The government has machine guns, mortars, howitzers, 500-pound laser-guided bombs, Apaches, A-10s, and a law called the Insurrection Act that empowers the military to shut this shit down in a right hurry. It's a very small, very noisy minority who wants this, and the rest of the country is sickened by them. None of them will be missed.
