As an outsider all I've seen in this thread is some good comments by Tom and boss but most is only saying well, it's our right!
Over the years some of the presidents have done wrong and I've never heard the gun owners taking up arms and taking control!
The only thing is that could never happen could it!
The president has control of one of the biggest armies in the world!
Our government puts down any militia it does not allow.
The Waco siege was the siege of a compound belonging to the Branch Davidians, carried out by American federal and Texas state law enforcement, as well as the U.S. military, between February 28 and April 19, 1993. The Branch Davidians were led by David Koresh and were headquartered at Mount Carmel Center ranch in the community of Axtell, Texas, 13 miles (21 kilometers) east-northeast of Waco. Suspecting the group of stockpiling illegal weapons, the ATF obtained a search warrant for the compound and arrest warrants for Koresh and a select few of the group's members.
The incident began when the ATF attempted to raid the ranch. An intense gun battle erupted, resulting in the deaths of four government agents and six Branch Davidians. Upon the ATF's failure to raid the compound, a siege lasting 51 days was initiated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). Eventually, the FBI launched an assault and initiated a tear gas attack in an attempt to force the Branch Davidians out of the ranch. During the attack, a fire engulfed Mount Carmel Center. In total, 76 people died, including David Koresh.
The issue that is ignored is the 2nd amendment.
It is common practice for the government to take action against any citizen group that finds its power abusive to their free state.
Citizens have lost the power to oppose our own government's abuse of power.
The power elite want us to be sheeple. Want us unable to defend ourselves against them. Laws are written and enforced to over-ride what constitutes a free state for all citizens.
Any group that acts against this power base are eliminated, put down or forced to disband.
