More from the DOJ press release r.e. sedition charges against Oath Keepers.

[AndyS]

According to the seditious conspiracy indictment, the defendants conspired through a variety of manners and means, including: organizing into teams that were prepared and willing to use force and to transport firearms and ammunition into Washington, D.C.; recruiting members and affiliates to participate in the conspiracy; organizing trainings to teach and learn paramilitary combat tactics; bringing and contributing paramilitary gear, weapons and supplies – including knives, batons, camouflaged combat uniforms, tactical vests with plates, helmets, eye protection and radio equipment – to the Capitol grounds; breaching and attempting to take control of the Capitol grounds and building on Jan. 6, 2021, in an effort to prevent, hinder and delay the certification of the electoral college vote; using force against law enforcement officers while inside the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021; continuing to plot, after Jan. 6, 2021, to oppose by force the lawful transfer of presidential power, and using websites, social media, text messaging and encrypted messaging applications to communicate with co-conspirators and others.

When I expressed concern over half of the 400,000,000 guns in the US being owned by 3% of gun owners the gunners among us poo-pooed me because 'they can only shoot one gun at a time'. The Oath Keepers intended to import weapons to DC and issue them to 'recruits' to their cause of sedition. THIS is why we all should be concerned about who owns how many and what kind of guns.

There are legitimate reasons to own as many as 100 guns; bonified collectors of antiques and collectables, gun clubs with training rifles for marksmanship or similar situations. However if someone owns dozens of AR 15 rifles or 9mm pistols it is appropriate to ask what the intent is. The only possible 'collectable' AR 15 would be an original Armalite edition. Other than that the reason for owning and possessing dozens or more is suspect. If someone is trading that many guns they should qualify as a Federal Firearms Dealer and need a license.

We need to seriously look at our firearms laws and have a national registry.
