Federal and state agents are searching a 30-square-mile swath of rugged Montana forest for a former militia leader following a shootout with sheriff's deputies, authorities said.

I truly wish there were more of folks like yourself.
It’s really hard to get people to understand what is happening to America.
Sad really.
So? If he starts damaging your property or your own individual freedom, shoot him like any other criminal.
Or is that too “anarchistic” for you? Being responsible for yourown defense?
It seems ridiculous, but the logic is the same.
This statement raises red flags. All his priors are for ownership of "illegal" firearms not for any sort of violence. This time LEOs were called in because he was driving erratically; then, he ran a stop sign. Yes, he supposedly shot at the LEOs, but given his statements about not being taken down again, it's not surprising. Then, of course, there's the history LEOs have of claiming the other guy shot first regardless of what actually happened. If the guy is indeed a paranoid schizophrenic, that doesn't mean he's dangerous even if he's armed.
The whole "he's a danger" claim sounds like an excuse.
“When hundreds of thousands lose their unemployment benefits and a fraction - say, 2% of them - do this sort of thing, it will go down differently.”
Yes, sir.
When the LA cops were confronted with a mob throwing bottles and bricks, the big, brave boys in blue got in their squads and drove home. Cops are more interested in staying alive to collect their pensions. That’s a fact. Read any cop blog.
What saved LA property and people were Korean citizens sitting on rooftops with rifles.
Ignore these FR surrender monkeys who think that fat, bloated cops, intensely interested only in themselves and their pensions, will goosestep through American neighborhoods, disarming millions of citizens.
These white flag wavers are invested in gloom and doom and aren’t paying attention to reality or facts.
Yeah, well 2 tours in Nam, pal so I don’t need any advise from you! So bite it, any further posts from you will just be ignored!!!
That is the definition of the classic Terror. Fanatics blowing up airplanes is not Terror nor is knocking down skyscrapers full of people. The government using random violence against the people for the purpose of making opposition impossible to coalesce is The Terror. Its goal is to make all withdraw into themselves and render silent compliance It is coming here. I used to think that my children wold live to see it. Now I fear that I will.
Talk is talk. If he acts, shoot him. Simple.
Good thing the resistance in France against the Germans didn’t hear your idea.
“said that Project 7 also conspired to kill local police officers, judges and
county prosecutors.
This seems to be the standard package of crap thrown in for arrests or
propaganda involving militia personalities or “militia types.””
In the past years I wouldn’t have doubted the cops story, but I am seeing incredible abuses piling up, and a weirdly militarized police forces. Gone are the days of the friendly cops that one trusts. They mostly seem to have a huge chip on their shoulder, and I think they are mostly being trained as an oppressive paramilitary force, not as “peace officers” - you know, officers that would ‘keep the peace’ - it used to be that the cops tried to peacefully defuse a situation, not ramp it up with insane shows of force against grandmothers and anyone else who gets in their way.
I’ll wait and see too. I hope cops will go back to being citizens just like the rest of us, not this weird us and them mentality we have now.
That is quite a list of accusations for a guy who is free and not doing several life sentences. Makes you wonder how strong those accusations were.
You aren’t the only one.
Really, a machinegun is just one of those things that you can't mistake for some other thing.
It's really, really good to have been trained in its use.
So you are standing there holding the thing up in the air with about lebenteen gazillion pounds of lead slung around your body, and maybe somebody to help you feed the belt up over your shoulders and you start firing IT WILL ROTATE.
Depending to some degree on your strength and weight it will rotate UP or it will rotate DOWN but it will rotate, and that first time it will rotate in ways you didn't imagine.
Grenades are safer for untrained personnel to use ~ which is why I don't want the government to issue you a machinegun. On the other hand I'm qualified and may have a use for it so I want mine!
Frankly the laws regarding machineguns are wrong. It's a self-regulating device, and your heavier machineguns, which are the best ones, really do require a support team.
The light machineguns, which are nearly useless except for building guard duty, were the ones the restrictive laws were aimed at. With higher powered ammunition, better rifles, better targeting systems ~ a guy with a semi-automatic probably has much real firepower as a light machinegun from the WWI era.
“Really, a machinegun is just one of those things that you can’t mistake for some other thing.”
That is nearly the most obvious statement I’ve seen posted all day.
It’s like Mark Twain said 150 years ago about the difference between lightning and a lightning bug.
In my experience I've found your average person has no idea what a machine gun is really about ~ or all that lead and brass.
**The federalists got themselves into a heap of hurt by going after this early Montana militia leader.****
Yep. He was later killed by one of his own people working as Indian police.
They are being trained for Terror.
M-2, M60-E3, Thompson, M-16 A2, suppressed Uzi, MP5-K....
Yeah, I’ve shot a few. Half of them AFTER my enlistment was up. There is nothing requiring any more training than parking a boat trailer, lighting a pilot light on a gas waterheater, or rebuilding a carburetor would need.
It isn’t rocket surgery...
