I can see one way this can go...
Some far-right nut comes to the (logical) conclusion that this is a prelude to the US becoming a dictatorship, so he gets his gun and shoots up a police station or something.
The event is widely publicised, spurring other right-wing nuts to shoot up something government-owned, which then sparks a rebellion. Then, either the US citizens win their pointless war, OR... the government wins, and, afraid of further rebellions, sets up even stricter laws, and America really does become a dictatorship.
