Even if this ridiculous poll was true, and somehow the attack materialized; I think the Federal Government would make quick work of them -- with sonic crowd control weapons, tanks, fighter jets and who knows what else. Its kind of a libertarian fantasy that a modern government can be overthrown.

You mean that same group(s) that could not even handle Afghanistan?

We are lucky in the US there is not violent sectarian groups. They would be very hard to deal with despite your feelings otherwise.

The reality of it would not be boomers wondering around the capital building. It would be a hard to identify group that conducts attacks and then goes back to looking like a regular suburban Joe. It would be a total nightmare.
