Sharron Angle floated possibility of armed insurrection

Here's another one that could be tough for Sharron Angle to explain away: In an interview in January, Angle appeared to float the possibility of armed insurrection if "this Congress keeps going the way it is."

-Snip-

The most charitable interpretation here was that Angle was floating armed insurrection -- or "Second Amendment remedies" -- as a defensible response if electoral politics fails to change where things are headed under the current regime.

This appears to be a prevalent theme in Republican right-wing politics: "If things don't go our way, it is a result of Liberal government tyranny, and the Second Amendment gives us the right to armed insurrection." History is not on their side as evidenced by the last attempt at this madness.
