Silly and trite.

Not at all. I pointed out that the relative arms level between a LEO and you wouldn't (shouldn't) prompt you to go for your guns.

I think that's quite applicable. Police ALWAYS show up armed, and in this case, they expected an armed response -- which the Bundys unfortunately provided -- and prepared accordingly.

I fear that more responses like this will only reinforce LEOs belief that it's necessary and appropriate to come in like an army.

Again, This is WRONG. One specific of how clueless you are on this topic.

30,000 militia. The interstate leading to the ranch that day was completely stopped because it was so full of traffic.

This was not a Bundy only action. Law makers from other states joined the Bundys.

When they rode out to confront the BLM, however, who had already stolen their cattle, they were unarmed.

They were asked by the BLM if they were armed as they rode up and they replied by yelling out that they were not.
