They came unarmed THIS TIME? What's that supposed to mean?
That they are full of shit. Anyone who takes up arms against the constitution will be crushed by the federal Army in short order. This isn't 1861 where the average citizen could match the firepower of the average Infantryman. Add to it that the tea baggers are untrained and mostly out of shape, and their guns are useless tools.
Has anyone on this board ever tired to take a tank out? It's pretty fucking hard. I had to do it for a training exercise with lasers/receptors. It took the tank about 5 minutes to breach my wife/mines and lay waste to my entire platoon.
And that was just a training excercise.
