As a caveat, I have to say that I don't really find Left/Right to be most accurate or effective way to describe politics, however it is useful for what I'm about to say.

I've been seeing more and more with the recent(past ~2 years) climax of gun grabbing and accompanying hysteria more and more on public forums are straight pissed off. On Youtube, TFB, other gun blogs, etc. people are openly saying that they will use force to resist gun confiscation measures. It's only really in the past few months that I've seen the public consensus fall into this mindset. I've seen people openly quoting Jefferson with his Tree of Liberty statement. These people are by and large getting majority support from any gun related outlets online. People on the "Right" seem like they're getting pretty sick of the slow boil. Seem like they're aware of the death of liberty by 1000 cuts. Like they're anxious for shit to jump off. Like they just want the conflict to happen already.

With the way things are escalating will we see extensive political violence in the USA from the Right? We already see fairly common, if low-level violence from the Left, but those on the Right seem to understand that it's the politicians and bankers who are making these anti-freedom policies. Those on the Right seem to have slightly more effective plans than whatever the equivalent of "punch-a-nazi" would be. I think that violence from the Right would be far more organized and disruptive than Left violence. If people do start getting violent, I would expect major police state crackdowns. Hard and fast.

Ideas?

There's no doubt that people everywhere, are becoming increasingly more alarmed. Many consertives on the right are just now beginning to see just how bad things are getting. I think you are right in how people are getting tired of the "slow boil", and are ready to see something positive happen. The problem, I think, is being able to know when and how we should act. The left has done a good job of putting us into a corner, and poking us, with a stick. They will be the first to cry "hate crime" when some of us have had enough. The horrible thing is that it is all being done by design. To get a reaction that they want, so that they can effectively have more justification to take more of our rights away, and label us as terrorist or some other unsavory term. On the same token, many people are aware that something must be done, lest we sink further and further into liberal lawlessness. I think that even hardcore consertives are afraid to shake off the programming, and retaliate, due to the massive brainwashing via network TV over the past 60 + years, but truth is contagious, and liberty and justice MUST be applied. I myself think that at some point, armed resistance is inevitable. But I, like many others pray that it never actually comes down to that. Theres also the fact that the lines of battle would be difficult to tell for some. It's for lack of a better word, a cluster fuck. Politics and policies have failed us. The world is upside down and even our best and brightest leaders have their price. Yes, we are between a rock and a hard place, and many people have had enough. All I know is that if the communist get their way, every person who tries to make a stand, will be singled out, vilified, and subsequently imprisoned for "wrong think". The only real solution here is more education regarding the total truth(which they make it hard to ascertain), and complete unity in defense of a common enemy(which is hard to see in some cases by some). We are already at war here. The only question is who will throw the first punch. The problem for many, is that they don't want to be seen as the initial aggressor, due to the political implications. At some point, you have to say to hell with what it looks like, we demand truth and liberty.
