Having lived in both urban and rural areas (from the Fulton chain in the Adirondack Park in upstate New York (think Lake Placid), to the Colorado Rockies (think anyplace West of Denver/Boulder), there is so much open space that anyone coming to confiscate anything (think Bundy Ranch), would likely never be seen again. Since the Fedzilla has pretty much confirmed that they think an independently thinking American is their sworn enemy, there is no longer any question of their motives.
Should they try anything outside of the major urban areas (and good luck with The Hood), they may make a few examples, but unless they cut ALL communications (think handheld short wave), the news will be countrywide before these self-righteous idiots take their first piss. The reason nothing has started yet is that although the intentions are clear, no action against citizens has yet been taken.
Once the first hostility toward an American citizen is taken, all bets will be off. The government has shown their intentions, and it is NOT to protect our freedom. The latest estimate is over 360 million guns in private hands, and ammunition to match. There is NO agency /agencies that can take on those numbers. The citizens will soon control the armories that the bureaucrats thought were theirs, and the retaliations will not be painless or swift. This will not be another Germany of 1939. If there are 100 (unwilling) soldiers at my neighbor’s down the street, they will know that the mobilization is on, and they are vulnerable, because this is MY territory, where I live, and I know it well.
CWII will start when the Government gets aggressive toward the Citizens, and not until. We value peace and will not start this. It is, however, quite clear that the government has no qualms about starting a suicidal action. It will be ugly, brutal and bloody, but that is far better than the slavery that is planned.
That happened a long time ago. Ruby ridge, Waco....
