You have now made 4 posts, some of which included a direct warning of violence, in opposition to PROTEST.
Do you honestly see nothing wrong with such a mentality?
And let's follow through with you assumption that host is advocating illegal action. What do you think it would be if you took up your guns in opposition to the gov't? That is the primary reason you have argued we need to have access to guns, yes? It would be ILLEGAL for you to oppose the gov't with your weapons. So is it only you who gets to decide when the illegality of an action becomes irrelevent in the face of just cause? Nonsense!

Correct me if I'm wrong here, but didn't Host state that as a form of protest, he broke the law by refusing to register for the draft and had to be pardoned by Carter? Did he end up in a PMITA prison? Nope. But now he's talking about "protesting" again. It's no longer the 1960's, and that kind of conduct is taken MUCH more seriously now.
As for my opposing the Government, would you care to wager on who cuts my check every month? I'm no longer legally a member of the U.S militia spoken of in Article 1 Section 8 of the Constitution, because I'm a member of an exempt class due to my job description. That doesn't mean that the reasons for the militia have changed.
