However given that the FBI has been on high alert for most of the last decade for domestic terror from the far right and the gun culture has made sure military grade weaponry is so easily available I can see a serious threat forming. Add in the fact that the after market is providing full auto conversions (illegal) for as little as $50 so all local police are totally out-gunned things could get serious quickly.
The Jan 6 coup attempt postponed it somewhat by unraveling the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys and making their membership lists available to the Feds. Their Command and Control has been decimated. However there are hundreds of 'militias' and thousands of wanna'be soldiers out there. A Bin Laden type figure could consolidate enough of them to orchestrate a serious threat. Although there is some infiltration of law enforcement and the military I believe it small enough to not be a serious threat . . . a major disruption at local levels, but capably dealt with in-ranks.
The gun culture and the Roberts court has made the 2nd amendment a suicide pact.
