"kill the government"

So at one of the lesser known freeper sites there is an individual who is advocating that folks "kill the government". This, of course, is in response to discussions regarding the 2nd amendment. Is this considered sedition and/or treason and if so, what can be done?

It's a rather republican thing to say. They like to declare war on abstracts because they think that they can kill their problems.

War on government
War on terror
War on drugs
War on etc...

These things have no face. They are not something living or breathing that can be killed.

Declaring a war on government, drugs, or terror, is in my mind the same as declaring a war on jealousy. You would be fighting an invisible non-existent enemy that cannot be killed.

beating down his door real quick and my guess is, he won't fire a shot. Alex Jones has lit a fire under their butts and the smoke comes out their mouths. It embarrasses me just to watch those blowhards.
