re: #128 No Malarkey!
Trying to outgun the US government is a good way to end up dead, as a few hundred thousand Confederates found out.
The nutters have spent decades convincing each other that the cops and even the soldiers are all on their side or enough of them are that when they rise up in “revolution” they’ll have a ready-made army ready to march with them on D.C. to “take back” the country. And if you’re wondering about the ones who won’t join them, they’re all supposed to just step aside and allow the army to march on unopposed.
