The difference between patriot and what you call a nut job is often only a matter of degree.

That is a ridiculous statement.

Why is that ? This guy shot the cop because the cop pulled him over and he thought it was wrong (so we're told at this point), the cop attempts to arrest him and a gun battle results where the cop dies.

Was the guy right ? Hell no, getting a speeding ticket is just an annoyance or a non-equitable tax for something which is essentially frivolous.

But say the cop decides to take your guns for some "law-breaking" : are you going to surrender them ?

Paranoid nut job and armed patriot can be a close thing in the eyes of conservatives. In the eyes of liberals they are already one and the same.
