[QUOTE="WideLoadTimmy, post: 2056151, member: 12926"] I wasn't clear in that post. What I should have was said was that there would definitely be those construing you as the domestic threat and that it would be up to each individual. I elaborated on that in a later post. Inaccurate. re-read my posts. I said I would hand over my guns. I said I would leave this country. I also said I'm already fighting. I'm already doing something about it. I also said that this is not the time nor place for violence, IMO. It shouldn't devolve to war that quickly. I would be better able to continue activism with the freedom to move about without worry of travel restrictions, curfews or other crackdowns. I said in several posts that, should they try to harm me with violence, fight's on. The fact remains that none of you know me well enough to say two words on towards my character. You have no idea what triggers the fight in this dog. Come to the State Capitol on the 19th and just talk to me. I haven't rolled over in this thread, I haven't rolled over on this discussion in other venues and I will not roll over. Handing over my firearms concedes a battle, not a war. But there shouldn't be such a rapid devolution to violence and people should not even appear to be so eager to commit to this type of action so quickly.
