Yep. Right on all counts. Thomas Jefferson said, "God forbid we should ever be twenty years without such a rebellion." We've gone 237 years, now, and our government is many times the size prescribed in our Constitution. I can see all of it happening, and like many great battles, it'd only take a single bullet (Revolution, WW1, etc.; hell, even Kent State). No telling how it would be once the dust settles.
