In reply to the discussion: SPLC report: Bundy ranch standoff was highly coordinated, reflecting threat of larger far-right mili [View all]Kaleva

A person should always fact check everything they may read on the internet. Lots of people out there with an agenda who have no qualms about presenting "facts" in a manner that advances their agenda.
A common theme I see see in pro-gun sites such as AR15.com is that people need to arm themselves with assault weapons fitted with high capacity mags and have on hand thousands of rounds of ammo in order to protect themselves from tyrannical federal government that's hell bent on taking away our freedoms and they'll cite the same info as you have posted as proof of the government's intent on subjecting the people.
Even here in the gungeon we have members who say they'll never give up their own semi-autos and high capacity magazines as long as the local PD is equipped with such. They think they need to be just as heavily armed even though history shows that shootouts with the police rarely ever turn out well.

OP
Take the militias seriously. They are a greater threat than Al Quaeda, and they are ours....

The ones I saw I would definitely not call tanks, they were just huge and looked to be well armed,

Gun culture domestic terrorism is far more of a threat than international terrorism.

Locking.While a very interesting and scary article, LBNHosts consensus is this does not meet LBN SOP
