-- Now, if you're sitting around with your buds and you say, "Damn, I'd love to blow up that hateful mosque" and the Man is listening in, and you've got your rifle in your lap, does that constitute "crime of violence in possession of a firearm?" --

Probably not, because you are just making idle chat. OTOH, if you are making earnest prepration (in private) with that sidearm straped to you, yes (the way I take the precedents).

So, have you seen any details about earnest preparation.

I haven’t seen anything.

All I’ve heard are extremely vague things that make me wonder if someone is wagging the dog.
