>>The govt will not only do this, they will reappear in a massive show of force shutting down roads for miles with a clear delineated perimeter - then, and only then will the govt/contracted (deniability) snipers get the green light....far away from the cameras.<<
I see you have no idea what the countryside is like out in Mesquite. Strangers stand out like forest fires on a mountain side. The locals know everyone in the County.
Just how do you think they would even get into the area undetected? In areas where .50 BMG’s are considered normal varmint rifles and reloading is as common as hardsoled shoes, that is not a choice area to be sniping at the local citizenry.
Highways can be blocked with a single semi. Park it sideways and shoot the tires out. One road blocked in two minutes flat.
I’m afraid this superior force idea has too many major weak points.
well, lets hope Im wrong....then you can have your I told you so moment
Are you saying in a couple of years that America will no longer exist? Because there’s a few hotspots here and there doesn’t mean the nation is lost. I see the feral Blacks in the major cities as more of a concern than Bundys cattle vs the BLM.

I’m praying that everyone maintains a solid control over their trigger fingers. Criminals and illegal aliens kill enough everyday as it is. We don’t need sharpshooters civilian or government sponsored adding to the count.
That’s the reason I have been posting http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/chat/3144181/posts?page=22#22 these posts. There’s a lot of good info about long range shooting and ballistic selection in these videos. They can turn a former 300 yard shooter into a 1000 yard expert in a couple of weeks for the price of 200 rounds of ammo.
The better equipped we are the less likely that government employees or mercenaries will decide to have a shoot out with us. I don’t see most LEO’s or three letter agency as wanting to engage in a shootout with American citizens. Not many public service jobs are worth dying for when your only reward is a pension after 30 years.
No I’m saying its not going to take decades to restore the Constitutional Republic. We are almost at a tipping point. People are furious.
Geez...this is only basketball.
[It was probably a crowd estimate by the same yahoos who *estimate* the number of CCDL pro-gun supporters on the same landscape a few days ago.]
Gun owners need to keep alert during this troubling time, even if we are not in the west.
Haha! Talk about leading from behind, that guy takes the cake. I caught a little of that on Saturday. He led all the cars up to the freeway then pulled over and let everyone go ahead. Then he stops short of the scene with the press people and starts to move toward the bridges and all the action. THEN... all of a sudden, his batteries are dying and he starts back to the car going in the opposite direction, as the crowds and the cowboys are showing up, and he proceeds to sit by his car, while his batteries are charging and waves into his camera occasionally as the stand-off unfolds back down the road, out of sight.
C'MON, GUYS, LET'S ROLL!.... uh, you guys go first, I'll be right behind you.
What an embarrassing loser...
Agreed, with the caveat that they're *all* a concern.
The easiest way for the Feds to overwhelm opposition is to attack at all points, at once. While you're worrying about some rioter breaking into your house and carting off your daughter, you're not so concerned about a gov't land grab 1/2 a continent away.
Now, is someone orchestrating all this? I doubt it. It's just a matter of putting enough of the "right-thinking" people in the right places. They act as one, as if they're co-ordinated, but it's hardly the case.
Like the current IRS flap. Do I think that BO gave the IRS a list of Tea Party groups to target? Not likely (he's certainly arrogant enough, but not smart or motivated enough....). BUT .... enough Democrat hacks and lackeys are appointed in the bureaucracy, so that someone, somewhere need only to comment "Boy, it sure would be nice if......." and the hacks are off and running.
I've said it a number of times. The problem isn't BO...he's just an opportunist. The problem is the bureaucracy that supports him, and a population who would vote him in.
lol.
I was reading the coverage on this - UK newspaper, of course, can't get good info from US MSM. The photos that were published of the patriots who were there were of some seriously hard folks.
They were far from primping for the cameras and making a few speeches. No keyboard commandos, here. It was pretty plain that they were there for a reason and meant business.
Made me wonder what the minutemen at Lexington and Concord looked like.
I saw that post - useful info - thanks
There’s not enough of them to attack at all points, at once. 4 million against 400 million. Sorry but that’s a losing fight.
It doesn't matter how much time... It doesn't matter for legal twists and turns... Anyone who thinks this will turn out any different from here on in doesn't understand what happens when rednecks hit 'oh, hell no!' territory. That Bundy Ranch will stay put now (to include every bit of range that he owns the water on) pretty much forever.
Them cowboys ain't gonna back up no more. Not one inch. Force will be met with force, even if there is no chance of winning. This isn't about law anymore. It is about right and wrong. They won't be convinced otherwise, no matter what. Nor their sons, nor their grandsons.
The only thing the feds can do is leave it alone... Completely alone... And hope folks forget about it enough that they can set their precedents some other way. Do anything else, and those cowboys will back their word.... and if they do and get stepped on, I bet Nevadans will too - and maybe the Desert Southwest... Make a big enough stink and the Rockies will rise up too - I guarantee it.
Push has come to shove, and now there ain't no backing down, whether the feds and all y'all know it or not.
I know it and I assume anyone who is familiar with cowboys knows it.
Civilian drones. Satellite feeds. Live pictures.
They won't. They have to demonstrate who's boss. Look for a Shock and Awe confrontation before 2014 is out.
We’re gonna see some confusing breaking news footage of flashing blue lights off in the distance in the middle of the night and hear of no-knock raids for the usual suspects of domestic narco-terrorists dressed up like militia members.
He has to sell the cows sooner or later. Once he does the feds will seize the proceeds from his bank account.
Personally, I feel it is much more likely this will be a direct, escalated and violent encounter. The fascism powers must show their testicles.
I disagree. They know how Waco looked on the evening news and they don’t want a repeat. They’ll bide their time, wait for Bundy to sell his stock, then swoop in and leave him without a dime to his name and drive him out of business that way.
