I think we all have to take responsibility for our actions and our words. We are a free country, and this balance between freedom and safety is one that we have to carefully balance. I have concerns about some of the language that is being used because I saw -- I saw this myself in the late ‘70s in San Francisco, This kind of rhetoric is very

rJ: The thing is, and I'm not trying to be a raisin picker here, the possibility of political assassination always exists. The Fringe is always there and they can usually get what guns they need. Crazy people as well. That's why the Secret Service is out there. That's why politicos have security. It is a real and ever present concern. Reagan got shot at. Ford too. They Killed JFK and RFK, And MLK, and T. Roosevelt got shot at more than once. And Lincoln's mom knew he would be assassinated from the day he took office and told anyone who listen. So the fact that you are warning against that the way that you are, seems a bit alarmist to me.

Using your rationale, complaining about someone who routinely plays with matches out in the woods during a drought in August is "alarmist" because, hey, fire danger always exists during the summer.

rj: Now if you are saying people are going to get shot en masse...

No.

rj: That this mood, will not blow over and it will be like the 60's again, with all sorts of crap happening like the SLA, and the Weathermen, ect,

I'm thinking more in terms of the Klan (which was much more lethal and operated with a much higher degree of impunity than these groups) and the occasional "lone nut" prompted by "leaderless resistance" like Tim McVeigh, Jim David Adkisson, David Lewis Rice, Eric Rudolph...

RJ: But what I think is important here, is are you afraid of that happening, or do you see it happening?

It's already happened. It could happen again.

But what I think is important here, is are you afraid of that happening, or do you see it happening? Because it isn't very clear.
