People keep saying this and I personally don't really believe it, I think there could be a couple riots, but not like a full on civil war. What does everyone think?

I believe most people will only fight if their life is already disrupted. So, if the riots or political climate ends up significantly disrupting people's daily lives, to the point where it cannot be ignored... yes. The state governments could also probably force the issue. It's not the most likely scenario in my mind, but it is certainly possible. "It could happen here", as they say.
