This is where things are gonna go sideways and the shit hits the fan.
200 plus civilians with rifles at a national monument? The ATF just got a Director and wants to get back in the limelight after watching the FBI encroach on its turf more and more?All it will take is a large group of LEO's, one person on either side doing something provocative and the fuse is lit.
I honestly don't know how we've avoided a serious confrontation this long. We've seen aggressive police raids against average citizens but they have yet to confront a large group of 2nd Amendment protesters.
I expect it to happen.
I expect to see bloodshed.
It really just a matter of time.
