They must not think that they will escape the anger that will follow if they take our freedoms away.

It's more than just anger. For many, it's a terrible, deadly resolve. There are quite a few gun owners out there for whom "from my cold, dead hands" is more than just a slogan. I am gravely concerned that the government will not take this faction seriously, or worse, will cross them on purpose.

I hate to say that this administration and specifically this Justice Department are hoping for another Waco to cinch the deal on eliminating gun ownership. They are all newly equipped with MRAPs and armed drones (only to be used against American citizens on American soil "in combat"), and billions of rounds of ammunition. All they need is an excuse to kill anyone who opposes them and their unconstitutional agenda and then go for even more repression.

I have seen evidence that there members of the Justice Department who consider Waco a triumph and presumably they hope for more triumphs.
