Both the Tea Party and legitimate gun owners have, in the past, been dragged through the coals by the Democrat propaganda, a/k/ , the media. For reasons known only to them, they as of now, letting both the Tea Party and legitimate gun owners alone. However, the attack on both these groups can be restarted at the blink of an eye. It would not be difficult to "discover" child porn on the computer of one or two of their undercover operatives in either group. Or one or more of their undercover operatives can get "caught" in illegal drug activity. In the ensuing "arrests" someone "resists" arrest and boom, it begins. This is only two scenarios of how false flag operations pan out, and these two may not happen. But, the opportunities for them are endless, and as demonstrated at Waco will enjoy public support.
Absolutely Agree, not comfortable times we live in.
