Maybe.
Hey there ;
Just this week it was reported that the FBI "Raided" suspected members in MI, IN, and ILL.
Made arrest on OPPPPS Gun charges. Imagine that..
Some may see it as you say "A shame" then again some do not...
I for one did not hear of any major Militia movements stiring up anything, yet the raids started.
The facts still remain the facts. After Waco Tx. The only thing they found was burned bodies and Bibles. Many babies included.. So what gave any barnch of our government the right to Judge, sentence and exicute those people. ???????
Our government Demonized that group of people to the point everyone wondered. They used the news media to back them up..
They even came up with eye witnesses.. ??????? I just have to wonder if those eye witnesses really expected to see those folks burned alive..
They shot Randy Weavers wife dead while holding a baby Not a gun.
Was she some sort of threat ????
We also more recently had a major storm that hit our nation and what we found again was our government flexing their mussles on American citizens again. They took privately owned guns out of the hands of those that owned them. Again a show of power over the people.
Another fact that many seem to forget was that during the Waco ordeal , NO one even thought about helping those folks. WHY ?????
Had a Militia with several hundred men all armed showed up I just bet things would have turned out different..
The other major factor in that ordeal was the tactics used on our people.
They used forms of torment on those folks that we can not even use on know terrorist...
Then they used a military tank and burned them .....
My self I see that as a system that has failed and at that point there is no need for useing that system anymore.
To say we need to stay within and work within the SYSTEM has not gotten any of us very far yet...
Fact is the SYSTEM is and has failed all of us. Why ? An improper ballance of power.
The NRA and many of the conservative talk show folks that seem to lead certain mind sets now days claim the American people will NEVER have to use force again... While I am a Patron Member of the NRA I must differ with them on that issue.
When using the word "force" many would love to jump to conclusions..
That is when feble minds start assuming things. Force means , to hold back , ward off , keep at bay.
Our government needs to be held back , warded off and held at bay..
I for one don't see anything wrong with that . That is also what our constution is for . To give us certain rights and the power to keep our government in it's place..... No more no less.
And the best I can tell no where in our constution did it tell us that it should take years for any of this to happen.
So before we start in tearing down the militias we should all maybe at the least wonder how, when , and where did these guys get there balls..
Atleast they have some.
