Immediately! If common ground cannot be found on this particular issue, the government is useless and should be removed using whatever means necessary. If they can't resolve this, then they have zero qualifications to resolve anything else. Can't put the country back to work, then we should march on D.C. by the millions and burn the f'n place to the ground.
