Really? There were several references to the Revolutionary war and armed rebellion in the preceding posts.

I think it would depend on how the government interprets your threat. All talk about revolution is talk about something that will happen in the future. If the government thinks you are seriously a threat, they are probably going to take a special interest in you, whether or not your particular criteria for violent action has been met. The government watches people closely it considers a threat to its authority. But its a moot point. Internet forums are full of people who say they would die for freedom, yet have never even written their congressman a letter.
So you don't think the government has people it watches for signs of revolutionary activity?
I am a bit confused as to what you are trying to say
As a matter of fact, I have broken many gun laws in the past, as well as other laws that I felt were tyrannical. There is no need for me to say which ones on the Internet. To me, a conflict is a last resort, but it IS an option.STAGE 2 said:And this is a steaming load of horse puckey. Are you constructing machine guns in your basement? Have you sold a gun through the mail without going through an ffl? Did you buy any hi-caps during the AWB? Im serious. Show me that you are "worthy" of gun rights under your own standard.
I understand that some are too concerned for their families to take any risks. Unfortunately, such people are essentially enslaved. The government is holding their families hostage.This macho internet BS is just that. Some of us have important things in our lives like families. As such, standing in the doorway screaming "say hello to my little friend" to the ATF or the FBI isn't a viable course of action for us.
You're welcome to think everything I say is bluff if you want. That makes little difference to me, since I know better.Of course this assumes that you and others who hold your view would do this which I can guarantee you wouldn't. Everybody is rambo on the internet. Things are different when SWAT is outside.

Evidently not everyone is as frightened of the government as you.

According to what you're implying here, you would NEVER resist the government, no matter what, as long as they threatened you enough. Sorry, but I find that pitiable.
Nevertheless, you're entitled to make that choice. Just don't make the mistake of assuming that everyone is like you. You keep "guaranteeing" that we who spit on unconstitutional laws are obeying those same laws. You have no idea what you are talking about and can guarantee no such thing.
I'm enslaved because I have no desire to see my family on the floor in handcuffs, or "mistakenly" shot by federal agents serving a warrant on my home.
Unless you are arab and have an interest in blowing thing up, no I don't think the government has any interest in you. They don't have the resources to monitor stuff like this. Even if they did every single statement here is constitutionally protected because no one here is advocating that someone should go out tomorrow and start shooting.
Either the government is watching potential rebels, or they aren't. Which is is?
So they are watching for confessions of gun crimes, but not for confessions of treason?
Anyone who's afraid to (nonviolently) break gun laws, even in secret, is a terrible ambassador for the Second Amendment, which is the HIGHEST gun law.STAGE 2 said:Thats probably the funniest thing I've read here in a long while. You say that I'm frightened of the government and yet you refuse to talk about what you have allegedly done. I can only surmise if you have actually broken gun laws (which makes you a terrible ambassador for gun owners) then your reluctance to talk about them is only because you are afraid of the potential penalties.
Who says that if you were to resist a tyrannical government somewhere down the line, it would have to be from inside your home, with your family around?I see. I'm enslaved because I have no desire to see my family on the floor in handcuffs, or "mistakenly" shot by federal agents serving a warrant on my home.
You have a crystal ball or something? I'm trying to figure out how you could possibly know anything about me or what I have or haven't done.Sure I can. You aren't sawing off your shotguns or tying strings to your rifles, or making cans for your pistols in your garage. Its really that simple.
So you think everyone is as scared to break "the law" as you are. You're completely convinced of this (in spite of the videos I just showed you that prove you wrong). Very well -- continue to think that if it makes you feel better about yourself.And the reason you aren't doing it is because you don't want a nice long stay at club fed. The only difference between you and I is that I'm ready to admit this.
So I'd be a true patriot if, rather than holding out hopes as long as possible for a peaceful return to the Constitution, I just went out and starting assassinating people? Sorry, but I don't agree with that. While I don't rule out the use of violence to defend my life or my freedom, shooting another person is the last thing I want to do if it can be avoided. In the meantime, I'm hoping that even if Ron Paul doesn't get the GOP nomination (which he almost certainly won't), he will awaken enough people to get the ball rolling toward freedom peacefully.As far as resistance, thats ridiculous as well. You've wrapped up everything in this fascade of being a patriot, and thats just bogus. Patriots don't break laws in secret. People who do that are folks that just want to break the law. Patriots risk life and limb to make change. I don't see you doing either so as of right now, by your own words, you're just a potential felon who doesn't want to get caught.
Just out of curiosity, why do you object to McCain more than the others?XD40Tac said:I might vote for Ron Paul now, but will vote for the Republican nominee in November unless it is John McCain.
