I do think it will hit the fan. The second amendment does make militias legal. I do believe militias are to protect the people from the government. If you don't then look at the revoultion we were England and they fought England. They are not here to support our government but to force the government to behave in a manner to prevent a revolution. Unfortunatly it has not stopped our rights from being removed one at a time. I just really hope our politicians get their heads out of their @$$es. It is not one political party. The Patriot Act was Republican. It is both parties and that is what is scary because the people have no legal alternative. That is what brings violent revolutions. I took an oath to protect my country and constitution from all enemies... I would prefer the government change to the will of the people and go back to the constitution. That is why those Congressional enquiries bother me. Where do they get that power? It is not in the constition anywhere. That is what I took an oath to protect because they asked me to. They asked me to put God in my oath. I wish I had the solution but I only see the problems.
Of course Blue Ticks are a big part of the problem and if we all got unicorns it would fix everything

But it ain't my fight unless they make it my fight. I did my time and then some.
