I mean, I understand that these hobos who went out there to back Bundy get under your guys' skin (for whatever ****ed up reason).
But I will never understand how most of you support the corrupt feds.
What I'd like to know is........what has changed in the world that makes people scoff at these people who are going out there and bringing their guns for JUST intimidation purposes in this scenario.
I mean, you guys all seem appalled that citizens would bring guns and POTENTIALLY use them. But at the same time you don't say anything negative towards a bunch of federal officers there with guns, snipers, etc surrounding the guys' property and forcefully taking his cattle. And not a peep of negativity towards the feds from most of you.
But even if they ended up using the guns...why would that be such a huge deal???
Why are you guys so against people who are being trampled by an ever increasing oppressive government?
When say 100 years ago or 200 years ago guns would have been used and it wouldn't have even been noteworthy, and most if not all people would have been behind the people like this.
How does the militia morons bringing their guns "just for intimidation purposes" make it better?
I'm not sure where you're getting the idea that the government is ever-increasing oppression. I mean, for women, racial minorities and gays (together most of the population ldo) oppression has definitely
decreased.
You're insane if you think "most, if not all" people would have supported armed uprisings in the past.
