I am in full agreement. The right to bear arms is never for shooting US government officials, for they are on our side. Any former government official who does not uphold the constitution and American civil rights clearly stated therein is no longer a US government official. The military is on our side too: the militias, the military, the US government and I all agree on this.</p></div></div></blockquote><div dir="auto">If a policeman tries to arrest you for something that you think is unconstitutional, you don’t have the right to shoot him, or even threaten to shoot him. You will likely be punished if you shoot him or threaten to shoot him even if it is subsequently agreed in court (in a case separate from your criminal trial) that the policeman was acting on laws that were unconstitutional.</div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-style:solid;padding-left:1ex;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204)"><div lang="EN-US" link="blue" vlink="purple"><div class="m_6420675740667795978WordSection1"><p class="MsoNormal"></p></div></div>
