Although I don't agree with what the 'militia' in Oregon was/is doing, I have to be objectively honest with myself when I say that the felony that each guy that was arrested was charged with, IS a form of tyranny. Having the ability to charge someone with a vaguely defined and subjectively enforced crime like that, is a sign that the government has too much power.

It's not vague & it's not subjectively enforced:
