With all due respect, one man who gets into a shootout with an armed crowd that is supported if necessary by a fairly modern military is generally known as a dead man.

You can certainly make a case that it is better to die on your feet than live on your knees, but one shouldn’t really imply that armed resistance by this farmer would have resulted in the government thugs backing down and leaving the farmer in possession of his property.

Any more than it worked out that way for Randy Weaver.

Excellent point. However, what you can do is keep track of who these people are ~ certainly someone somewhere will know who they are, and just keeping in mind that they have families, and mothers and fathers themselves, you will know what to do to achieve satisfaction if not the return of your property.

This is called WAR.

Yep, although a farmer dispossessed of his land and belongings is pretty close to dead anyway. If you’re smart, you’ve gotten together with your neighbors beforehand and it isn’t one on many. But if it is, you kill the “governor” first if it comes to it. The revolution starts against the commissars, not the foot soldiers.

Randy Weavers life was destroyed over a law meant to give Federal agents something to do. Federal make-work laws are killing America.
