Oh goodie. I wasn't sure I had enough to worry about. Now I get to ponder the real possibility of the Gestapo stopping by to haul me off to a 'green zone' because I mentioned something about defending myself and my family from tyranny several months (likely after a few bourbon and cokes).
Holy shit balls this is like the 1770s all over again.
the illusion of anonymity should have always been assumed. even commercial VPNs are no guaranteed protection.
either way, i've never understood the big talk under the guise of 2A rights. so many folks go beyond philosophical constitutional arguments and state in a variety of ways what basically amounts to an individualized less-than-hypothetical "I'm willing to kill government officials if it comes to that" which is interpreted precisely as a potential violent threat, and enough to get on the FBI/DHS/DEA radar.
it's funny that lefties can state publicly that they want "us" killed, or rounded up, and NOTHING happens to them. Make one hyperbolic statement about defending your civil liberties and it's to the goulags for us.
that would be thanks to a court system that can selectively apply legal precedent when it comes to the gray area between protected free speech and yelling Fire.
You are 100% correct. Threatening to Kill or Attack government officials is exceedingly stupid and irresponsible for any serious anon/pede. However, it is understandable in our current environment for any conservative to have massive anxiety about the condition of our most trusted enforcement institutions. Namely the FBI and ATF. I know a few agents in both ... personally. They are patriots no less than you or I. That said, when the calls comes down to apprehend a suspect they don't request a briefing. They just go and apprehend the individual. No questions asked. Follow orders. That is what scares me ... AND NO, it's not the same as the military following orders. The military doesn't (right now anyway) apprehend US Citizens. That is different. Totally different.
Anyway, I truly pray for those LEOs in these agencies that are patriots. Nothing could be more heroic and worthy of memorialization than having the courage NOT to be used as a weapon by the emerging Communists infecting our great nation. it looks more and more like that may be the situation in a lot of cases (DC Jan 6 dissidents being held).
Something as extreme as armed resistance is a last resort and honestly is one of those unspoken understandings about what happens if they try to go door to door and take our guns. It needs not even be said. We all know.
If they can figure out an excuse to kick down our doors, they will come. Their days are numbered. Everyday I stop by here to see the post I've been waiting for.
Assume the bad actors have it all.

Crap. I’m just a housewife. But I said a few days ago they’d take try to take away our guns next because they can’t take us to camps if..you know…
I shouldn’t have said that?
