I don't think right wing losses at polls would do it. We've already largely expunged electronic voting since Bush's last two selections.
I"m sure a gun ban would serve as a trigger for many. Oddly, Obama has no intention of pushing or advocating such a ban. I'm pretty sure the Tea Party will never be anything more than a source of ineffective energy and embarrassment for the GOP, like the hippies were for the Dems in the 1960s
I think it really depends on the strength of the violent-reaction-stimulus (ie, gun ban) and the perceived strength of the fed to respond (ie, zombie apocalypse, financial collapse, or other massive catastrophe) for most militias to activate.
All highly unlikely, so we're probably safe from most militia violence for now.
