Why do they call these terrorist groups militias?
Terrorists by definition use force to acheive political goals. Militias are there to DEFEND our country. |

Dupont said the amount of ammunition indicates "there was going to be big trouble." As he puts it, "it didn't take 30,000 rounds of ammo to kill a turkey." I don't have 30,000 rounds but I might be halfway there and I don't hunt turkeys. When I guy gets busted for DWI do they go into his home and count the number of bottles he has?[rolleyes] |

They should have planned to round up the congressmen who declared war against the constitution, by voting for the Campaign finance bill limiting free speech before elections.
You call them nuts, but the media and general public think you are just as nutty. Dupont said the amount of ammunition indicates "there was going to be big trouble." As he puts it, "it didn't take 30,000 rounds of ammo to kill a turkey." Hey jackass Sherrif, why do you think people stock ammo for hunting? The second ammendment is not related to hunting, it is to keep our government in check and to defend our borders as necessary. Why do they call these terrorist groups militias? Terrorists by definition use force to acheive political goals. Militias are there to DEFEND our country. These guys are just a bit off track, but Our country is in greater danger from enemies within, more than from Islamic terrorists from the outside. |

Just how many of these asshole were there. My guess would be 5 to 10. Granted the NG probably isn't the most proficent group of guys but how many did they think they could kill?
These are the type of assholes that are going to make us all lose our right to own firearms. Funny these guys seem to cause the problems they are trying to prevent or fight. |

Just got off the phone with John Trochmann, (Militia of Montana), This guy, (Dave Burgert), was NOT affiliated with his group. John spoke of him as a "loose cannon". John, (my interpretation of what he said), said he believes the allegations may be true, and the guy, (ex-marine), was probably capapable of following through with his plan (or attempting it any how). There's more details, but I'm a slow typist.......

A Militia is a standing army of private citizens who are called upon only to defend our counrty in a time of war. A terrorist group on the other hand is what the group in Montana was. They were trying to bring about political change by killing members of the current government. There needs to be a distiction between the two. They are NOTHING alike. |

The funniest thing is guys is do you think they conceder all of us a militant? I think they do.
Just look at us all we have about 20,000 people who are members or post on this board. All of are Pro-gun Pro-construction and willing to fight for are right's even if it means starting a new revolution. Right? Think about it were are fighting a soft war right now trying to keep are right's and when if fails in are courts and are law's what else if left for us to do. With over 20,000 member's I'd say we could beat that 30,000 rounds easily. Just a thought. |

Very nice guys, not the raving racists as the media continually tried to portray them as. IIRC Trochman even did a lecture with J.J. Johnson (back when he was the head of the Ohio militia). |

The 2nd Amen is as much about being able to fight a tyrannical govt as it is to defend against foreign invaders. Give me a break, "The tree of Liberty needs to be refreshed now and again with the blood of patriots and tyrannts" You should work within the framework of current laws until they ignore what the Constitution says. At that time the so-called US Govt is AN ENEMY OF THE UNITED STATES!!!!!! The time is not at hand for this, so I am not supporting these guys plans. However I do not agree that there is never a time to take up arms against ones Govt if it becomes tyrannical |

Talked to my brother last night whom lives in Kalispell. He says that Dave Burgert is always in trouble and kind of a dipshit. When he staged his death he left a fishing pole by the water. I believe it was Flathead Lake. When things were found they knew he wasn't dead. The pole was there with the line in the water but no lure or hook on the line and nothing else. Doesn't sound like a NASA employee. They figured it was staged so didn't say much to the press and new he was up to something so waited to see what he came up with next. He hangs with another guy whom drives around Kalispell with a bumper sticker that reads Bob says f**k Californians and waits for a Kali tourist to flip him off or say something then runs them down and gets in their face. Would be kinda amusing to watch I guess. My brothers partner is from Kali and always says he is gonna kick this Bob's ass. My brother tells him to pack a big lunch cause this Bob is about 60 but a tough mean looking SOB.
On another note Sheriff Jim Dupont is a prick also. A guy my brother knows purchased a C3 Mac I think and went into his office to have him sign a form. He told my brother that Mr. Dupont preceeded to tell him what he thought of civies and MACHINE GUNS. He did finally sign it and threw it back at the guy. So if he has that attitude about C3 that pretty well explains his take on the 30,000 rd thing. Suppose he was elected by all the Kalis that moved to Kalispell. Sounds to me like if they shot each other in an old west gunfight everybody might be happy. Not anti LEO so don't burn me out, just talking out of my ***. |

I am so sick & GD tired of these "militia's" thinking they're going to instigate the second Revolution.
The vast majority have probably never been in the military, they ones that have probably never made it thru basic & the ones that did were probably either Air Force or motor pool types. Quite frankly, I would instantly take a dozen veterans from my gun club, arm up & take on any 50 of these "militia" bozos. I wonder how fast they'd wet their pants at the first shot whizzing by their heads? The sad thing is, neutrals associate these bozos with the NRA and/or gun owners. Sigh. |

What we got in the papers over here on the other side of the Rockies is that those guys were a bunch of scumbag criminal looking to get some revenge on a few LEO's, a judge, and a DA.
Your right about their stash also, not nearly enough for the 6-8 guys the paper says were involved. It's tough to buy decent guns and ammo with food stamps. My father lives in Kalispell and is an avid gun collector, hunter and shooter and if 30K rounds of ammo scares the sheriff I hope he never goes to dads house. Fortunately over here our sheriff much more understanding. As far as the Montana NG goes, I shoot highpower with a bunch of them and I would not want to run up against them in any kind of CQB. Most of them are Marines and many are current LEO's. |

As for "dumb bully types", you're partly correct on the "dumb" portion. Again, anyone in one of these so-called "militia's" are, IMO, idiots. |

Why is it that everyone else's gun club doesn't have the fat, non-shooting guys that I've seen at all of them I've been to?
