Has any BLM group seized and shut down access to federal buildings through force of arms? This insurgency goes farther than shouting out at a Trump rally.
These groups greatly expanded from 42 in 2008 to almost 300 today, black president, fear of losing guns, Tea Party and we have the perfect breeding ground.
"The armed takeover of a federal government building in Oregon comes amid a renewed expansion of the far-right, antigovernment militia movement in the wake of the 2014 standoff between federal agents and heavily armed antigovernment activists in the Nevada desert.
In its annual count of militias, released today, the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) identified 276 militia groups – up from 202 in 2014, a 37 percent increase."
The distrust for government has been growing since I was a kid over 60 years ago when I was 5. nothing has changed tot he positive ever.
The immorality in government has been a infection long in the making and many of the government actions have been questionable through out most wars and conflicts.
The issues of the economy emphasize the continued failure and eventual break down of the republic.
Communism has been successful in systematically altering this once great nation. Greed and corruption wins. poor and rich both are as greedy selfish grasping .
The early days I remember , people were more community ,not by mandate, but because it was the culture of community all on it's own.
When you mandate something,, character changes, and the entitlement mentality is borne .
If you must earn the respect of community, you do what it takes to maintain that respect .
Most of those on welfare, I believe, don't know any thing of this . hence we have a serous problem.
Those in government pushing for more control

It's not like they have taken control of a multi-story IRS building in Oregon. This building is the equivalent of a rest stop on a hiking trail. I'm pretty sure that if you were out winter hiking, this insurgency would be more than happy to let you hike through and get a trail map.
Who decides, and what is an anti-government militia group?
I don't think the groups are anti-government, they oppose violations of the constitution. Doesn't every American oppose the government violating the constitution?
BTW, If the source is the Southern Poverty Law Center, they are not exactly unbiased, they take a pretty strong anti-gun stance.
The Government decides, of course. If your a "Group" of more than two, and armed, your an anti-Government Militia. The irony is, that here your a Militia, and you aren't when they want Gun Control. Kind of blows the Theory that gun grabbers use, saying Armed Citizens are not to be considered Militia.

They couldn't do that. First of all, most of them could not pass a Background check to buy a gun. Second, some of them are likely Felons and aren't allowed to be near Guns, and last, they aren't smart enough to pull that off. Its tough to sell yourself as a Militia when your looting, rioting, and crashing peoples events.
You want to be scared to death.
Wait until you hear this.
Hi, I'm here from the government and you can trust me.
