If these paranoid types see the Obama administration as corrupt, socialist, and/or infringing on "God-given rights," why wouldn't they try to rid their communities of this "evil" federal power? If they think the feds are coming after their guns (as that individual had recently), why wouldn't they revolt with these guns? What happens if this occurs on the level of the community, and other similar communities are spurred as a result? What if they form a solidarity as a result?
