Rand Paul email contains a banner image of a rifle pointed at President Barack Obama's head

Interesting website, with a compendium of incidents showing just what we're up against, and the stochastic terrorism being waged against us by talking head nutjobs, conspiracy theorist crazies and United States congress critters alike.

INSURRECTIONISM TIMELINE



On June 26, 2008, the U.S. Supreme Court embraced the National Rifle Association’s contention that the Second Amendment provides individuals with the right to take violent action against our government should it become “tyrannical.” The following timeline catalogs incidents of insurrectionist violence (or the promotion of such violence) that have occurred since that decision was issued.

January 12, 2011—After it is reported on by the Columbia Free Times, Palmetto State Armory removes an advertisement from its website for a personalized assault rifle accessory. €œ”Palmetto State Armory would like to honor our esteemed congressman Joe Wilson with the release of our new €˜You Lie €™AR-15 lower receiver,” € the ad reads. A picture of Wilson holding a rifle and standing in the company’s gun shop appears on the same webpage. The ad refers to an incident in September 2009 when Wilson disrupted a speech by President Barack Obama in the U.S. Capitol and claimed that impending health care reform legislation would not provide coverage for undocumented immigrants.

November 2, 2011—Four men are charged with conspiracy to kill officials of the federal government in Gainesville, Georgia. The men—one of whom is listed as a “captain” in the 440th Squad of the Georgia Militia—had conducted surveillance on IRS and ATF buildings in Atlanta, which they were planning to attack with explosives, firearms, and biological weapons. The ringleader of the group indicates that the plot is based on the self-published novel “Absolved” by former Alabama militia leader Mike Vanderboegh. Vanderboegh, a Fox News commentator, previously made national headlines in March 2010 when he encouraged pro-gun activists to vandalize the offices of Democratic Members of Congress in response to their votes for health care reform.

August 12, 2013—South Florida business owner Jason D. Simione is arrested and charged with three counts of solicitation to commit first-degree murder, one count of threatening to throw, place or discharge a destructive device, and one count of child abuse. A SWAT team searched the 39-year-old’s Dania Beach home and recovers 68 rifles, shotguns and handguns, including a .50 caliber sniper rifle; and approximately 60,000 to 70,000 rounds of ammunition. Detective Ricky Libman of the Broward Sheriff’s Office states, “[Simione has] made statements to me and his employees about how unhappy he is with government policy, specifically [President Barack Obama].” Broward Judge John Hurley tells Simione, “[Your] employees said you repeatedly have threatened the President of the United States, saying that he should be murdered.”
