Concerned That White Supremacist Gun Toters Looking For A Fight.

Based on the rhetoric and recent aggressiveness it is worrying that these extremists are looking for a fight with federal authorities. How do you deal with this threat when ignoring their actions seems to make them more bold? How do we diffuse this growing danger?

As long as they do it away from any populated area, so that they only wind up getting their own dumbasses killed.

If I ever hear of an open carry demonstration in a local Target or whatever, I'm going to twist myself a balloon gun (it's not my specialty, but it is of another twister I'm friends with who creates huge cartoonish space guns so I'll get his help), and I'm going to walk behind them while loudly humming, "Dueling Banjos."

I think they have this perverted "blaze of glory" thing going on in their heads. Some pseudo-heroic idiotic Napoleon complex about some "glorious" battle to the death. And all those other cliches that make it sound so damn glorious to go shooting and killing and maiming. Hey, remember! You can always just hit the reset button if you get "killed." And it never hurts. It's just a game! And we're the good guys cuz I happen to know GAWD is on OUR side!

Uh-huh...

Most of these, who I suspect have NEVER served, have NEVER had to wade through a rice paddy, up to mid-thigh, in the humidity and gnats and biting bugs swarming around your face and active gunfire and rocket-launchers and stuff are whizzing over your head; have NEVER had to squat behind some dry parched rubble while guys in sheik costumes are shooting back at them in some dry parched hot hell-hole with no shade, cuz there are no trees. Never had to cut through a jungle where the next "vine" trailing down in your face is just as likely to be a poisonous tree viper, and snipers are hidden behind every large leaf.
