(22,308 posts)First off. These types of threats need to be dealt with sooner or later. The idea that trying to stop these domestic terrorists from breaking the law is starting a war isn't rational.
Secondly, I used the term "domestic terrorists" because you linked to a Wiki page which describes them that way. I'm not sure what you have against what Sen. Reid said since you seem to be supporting what he said in your post.
Thirdly, Some of the people there are the ones who claimed they were going to put women up front to be killed. They claimed it was a tactic to expose the government agents as killers. Of course the agents didn't kill anyone. I wonder if they understand that it was because their opinion of them was wrong.
Lastly (and I will stop here only because I could only handle the first 4 paragraphs of your OP) It doesn't matter what type of body armor or weapons they have. The US military could easily overwhelm them while being out of range of their weapons and by using firepower which their armor would be ineffective against.
