Are you suggesting that more charges with harsher sentences would satisfy
your definition of insurrection? Not enough arrests and convictions? How many would you require for a group to have climbed that fence and gone from 'gift shop disagreement'

this morning. Good posts Louder. I had my daughter watch a documentary about Ruby Ridge with me because of our discussions. She was amazed. Bout to take her through Waco as well. Won't have my kids foolish enough to trust the government. Like me, and you, she believes in a small federal government and that states should handle the vast majority of business. Sadly that isnt what we have.
