"Happens EVERY DAY to various business owners. Should they all mount armed protests?"

When faced with tyranny some men bow down and lick the hands that feed them. And some don't.

"As bad as it sucks, and as unjust as it is, are we calling for a shooting war against federal police every time a family's livelihood is threatened by the government?"

We know what your answer to that question is. A better question might be, at what point, if any, would you resist an overbearing Federal government? I'd be very interested in hearing your answer to that question.

Yeah, I know the poetic, philosophical quotes too.

But really, we in the USA don't have a clue what real tyranny feels like.

..at what point, if any, would you resist an overbearing Federal government? I'd be very interested in hearing your answer to that question.

I can't answer that question for a whole nation. Neither can you. But when you need to resist, you should do it in court. Real people do that, and sometimes they win.

I believe, in this case, their response was an overreaction. I don't believe we're at the point where we need to go to war.
