“I understand your buffalo analogy.
But, consider how many Federal LEO and willing and prepared for a standoff in single-digit weather...with two miles or more of clear visibility. In all directions.
It will be at least a week before they even know the resources required to secure the area.
And, it will likely take the National Guard.”
Assuming bundy’s sons have close to 100 people with them inside the compound, basic tactics 101 would state roughly 300 feds to take that place in a fight. Feds aren’t exactly known for being good shots or being the bravest souls.
Even assuming bundys’ have 100 ex-SF soldiers in there, any smart fed would know they are the less dangerous group in the fight... the dangerous group is the hundreds possibly thousands of militia that are hanging out at the local McDonalds, cracker barrel, etc, etc. The fed encirclement could very quickly get encircled by “undercover” militia. This could go very ugly very quickly for the feds. A smart fed would have at least 300+ people and APC/bradley support they are were really going to try to fight them out without bombing them out.
That said I think this was perfect timing on bundys’ part. This spits in obama’s eye about his new gun regs. Obama will either be forced to once again look like a chump or try to fight it out... which will go bad very quickly. Least we forget currently hundreds of thousand of “felony militia” roam freely on government property in NY and CT. Obama has refused to go after them because the numbers are so massive. He maybe more willing to take a crack at these guys because they are few in number(at least visibly) then the legions of people in NY/CT. Either way bundy’s timing was perfect.
People standing up and taking action to reinforce their 2nd Amendment rights is the only thing keeping Obama from exacting the real tyrrany he wants to impose on the American people by handing our nation over to foreign enemies IMO
If it looks like a Waco buildup to a blitzkrieg attack as you postulate, the number there will grow exponentially to defend the protestors defending the Constitution. Many of the ones there already are vets and former police, so the tactics are already known.
Besides, if they do succeed in Wacoing it, what is to stop the the potentially thousands of other “crazies” from going active all over the country?
