“I think the left is just salivating at the chance for martial law to be declared.”

Declaring it is one thing - enforcing it is entirely different. If anyone is killed by a member of the DHS SWAT team in Murrieta it will signify the opening of a long, long hunting season on DHS (and other government) agents. It will not be pretty nor will it end as well as .gov thinks.

If fired upon first, I don’t have a shred of doubt what’ll happen next.

IF — and you’d best pray it’s the most humongous “IF” ever in all of American history — DHS fires on the militia, that will be the first fusillade in CWII.

I wouldn’t expect the GOP to come down on the right side of that, either; they are, as the Almighty once labeled a fading Egypt, “a splintered reed.”

Another important consideration on why the government doesn’t want a confrontation is because there’s no guarantee that Federal officers will actually participate in one.

And what happens if/when Federal officers start refusing to obey orders?

People, I think, don’t give Federal officers enough credit. Iirc there were clear indications, posted in threads here, during the Bundy Ranch situation that the Federal officers wanted no part of a showdown, and were clearly communicating that up their chains of command.

Then consider all the NPS Rangers who found other directions to look in, other places to be, during the whole barrycades civil disobedience during the shutdown ...

There must surely be someone in DHS with enough math skills to figger out that 100 million Americans armed to the teeth with 300 million privately owned firearms is force that shouldn’t be stick-poked? Probably should be talked to politely. Probably shouldn’t be yellow-taped out of public rights-of-way. Probably shouldn’t be confined to free-speech-areas. And probably shouldn’t have publicly owned weapons pointed at them?

Confronting un-armed citizens with burp guns, as with Elian Gonzales, is career-risky at best.

Yes, since they have been so far unable to confiscate your guns via the legislative or judicial processes, use of executive powers is their only remaining alternative.

Once done, you really will see fundamental change.

Interesting, I hadn’t heard that the Feds in Nevada were unwilling to fight. The few videos I saw showed them looking like a—holes and quite confrontational. Can you send me some links?
