Nope.

The militia types are a very small minority among the many millions of gun owners/shooters. So, focusing on that extreme fringe does nothing but put your viewpoint out of focus.

I have absolutely NO desire to get into a firefight with ANYONE from the government! That is nothing but suicide by the folks with more men and guns than me. I am not suicidal and am not about to start now.
