I will be using my gun should Obama win....to defend myself against the right-wing rioters.
Based on history, there is only one group that has ever rioted in this country and burned down their own neighborhoods and businesses.
And it wasn't "right-wing rioters".
I was surprised by your premise, so I used it as a way of prodding me to learn more about the subject.
There is an interesting Wiki that lists Riots world-wide. Really interesting how diverse the causes. I found a blog where some guy attempted to subset out the USA ones. I have no idea if the list is accurate, but again I found it interesting. Perhaps you will too.
(after I pasted the list, I noticed some he included from outside USA by accident - so obviously the list is not totally accurate!
