Or the similar 2007 study from Harvard that showed the exact same thing?

You seriously posted a link from Guns and Ammo? And just looking at the next link you shared shows studies 10-20 years old, I didn't even bother with your last link. I'm sharing statistics that say states with greater gun control laws have fewer gun related deaths. We could trade studies and statistics all day long.

I guess if you're being purposefully obtuse, it's just "a plane crash". The building burning is the IRS building in Austin, Texas.

Yes, most anti-government extremists are all talk. Some aren't. Timothy McVie comes to mind.

Unfortunately for some the definition of government tyranny includes collecting taxes, allowing legal abortions, or having a black president.

I'm a big 2nd amendment supporter. Not just for the fact that people should be able to protect themselves, but for the original reason it was an amendment. To protect against governmental tyranny. I don't know why Americans think we're immune to a radical and negative change in government. It's happened hundreds of times in history.
Genocide was by far the leading cause of death in the 20th century. Estimates of up to 78 MILLION died under Mao Ze-Dong alone. The orders are in the millions every time.

I don't personally believe instability in the US today is even close to causing anything like that, but I most certainly play my part in preserving the right for future generations.

I posted direct links as well. The article links were just for a brief synopsis. Unfortunately, big media outlets didn't report it for seemingly obvious reasons.

We are talking about an assault weapons ban that effects tens of thousands of normal citizens, your neighbor, your accountant, not terrorist attacks from right (or even left wing for that matter) extremists.

Keep up. This wasn't in response to something you said.

We were discussing sociopathic anti-government types in the context of those who refuse to to comply with the law.

You have made the same remark numerous times about Fox news, just saying. and you would be correct in that fox news is biased as well.

But his bears zero relevance to the law or compliance. What your doing is no different than if someone posted a video of the boston bombers while lambasting the muslim population.
