JACKSON, Ga. Put the guns down!
The order crackled over a loudspeaker from two sheriffs deputies crouched behind the doors of police cruisers, semiautomatic rifles at their sides.
Several middle-aged militiamen were toting loaded AR-15 rifles and 9-millimeter pistols at a makeshift checkpoint two lawn chairs and a narrow board on a dirt driveway in central Georgia. The men, members of the Georgia Security Force III% militia, grumbled but laid their weapons down on the red clay earth.

That it's been 8 years and it didn't happen is utterly lost on them. They "know" it's just around the corner and they're ready!
Those guys don't learn slow--they don't learn at all.

Then I read this
The door of his trailer the one with a sign that reads, If You Dont Live Here, Dont Come Here was smashed in that day. Three rifles, a crossbow, 13,000 rounds of ammunition and an 800-pound gun safe were taken not by federal agents, but by local thieves. Worse, Mr. Bowen was coughing up blood from an unknown malady. He soothed his throat by chugging cold Coca-Colas.
Mr. Bowens comrades urged him to see a doctor, prompting a sour discussion about yet another conspiracy they see: the Affordable Care Act. Mr. Bowen waved them off. He was more concerned about Muslim immigrants imposing Shariah law. You cannot come to my country and shove your religion down my throat, he said, coughing.
OMFG. This guy is treating his ailment by chugging Coco-Cola??? All to spite getting medical care under the ACA. Not only did his Momma drop him on his head, but so did his Daddy, Aunts, uncles, older siblings and grandparents. Then they all took another go at dropping him.
