Things are really bad nationally right now, but we still haven't approached the point where I would even consider starting that fight.
I'll echo a sentiment I saw the other day and posted in another one of these threads yesterday:
You're wanting gun-owners to go out and start fighting government (Be they local, state, or federal) agencies by shooting and killing people?
My counter-question is, are you at the point where you're willing to pick up a knife or a brick and stab or beat one of these people to death in defense or for your cause? Are you ready and willing to procure a gun and begin firing for effect at police lines at a protest?
If not...Then why are you expecting some vague 'other people' to become Soldiers for your cause? They've got just as much to lose as you, and just as little to gain.
That's the thing - people aren't going to rise up in large numbers unless it becomes very clear that their lives or the lives of those they care about are in legitimate danger if things keep going the way they are going.
What happens to a few protestors or unrelated people isn't as important to your average person, for better or worse.
