This militia types are all bluster but will not act.

There was a militia type who went and shot it out with the police. He got away but they knew who he was. He went in hiding with some other militia members. When he was trying to incite them to take action. The militia members dumped him on a street and called the cops on him

1. What about the Bundy folks?

In the words of Junior Bush, you misunderestimate them.

2. Never underestimate

mob rule. All is takes is some nutjob to do something stupid.

3. Don't be so sure.

True, many of them are harmless, dumpy middle-aged wannabes with Walter Mitty delusions of heroism, but some of them are not harmless at all - just ask the Southern Poverty Law Center, which keeps track of these groups. https://www.splcenter.org/hatewatch And don't forget about Timothy McVeigh.

5. Some of these guys are completely crazy.

They are dangerous and willing to die for there "cause".

6. Generally, yes

Most are trash talking cowards.

7. Right. Most won't. But some will. Look at the Bundy gang. Yes it ended with them all in jail

except Finicum. But in fact it could have been a lot worse. And we cannot depend on all of them being as ignorant as the Bundys.

8. 99.9% of them that might be true but that .1 is still a lot of dangerous nut jobs.

Blowing them off 100% is foolhardy, we have plenty of historical examples where it was more than bluster or hot air.

It only takes one.

9. Timothy McVeigh and his group were milita and they

were not all bluster. I hope the SS is extra careful.
