Bundy was out in the middle of farm country. The gestapo came to him. He had the home field advantage. Your band of 1000 freedom warriors would be walking into the lion's den, and assuredly a trap set by the deep state. You would win nothing, and at best would contribute 1000 additional prisoners to the Deep State, and at worst lose many in a crossfire, and once and for all prove the narrative correct that Maga crowd are violent extremists.

Whatever happens, we cannot be the ones to fire the first shot. Optics matter. The narrative matters. There are still too many people asleep who continue to buy into the Deep State narrative hook line and sinker.
