Isn’t that what this boils down to?

In theory, yes. But the bottom line is, who has the guy's back?

Where was the call to arms from all the tough talking patriots when Randy Weaver's family was killed or the Koresh compound destroyed by the government?

Weren't those events worthy of "the shot heard around the world"?

Those may have served as wake-up calls for many. The Bundy stand-off actually got an armed response, and the feds backed down before shots were fired.

Clearly, a lot of factors are in play.
