There are many gun supporters unwittingly sympathizing with these extremists. The public needs to be educated.

The sovereign citizen (click here) movement is considered the top threat for domestic terrorism, according to a survey of state, local, and tribal law enforcement agencies.
Islamist extremists and militia/patriot groups round out the top three threats to communities in the United States considered most serious by 364 officers of 175 state, local, and tribal law enforcement entities, according to a survey conducted by the National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism (START).
The survey - “Understanding Law Enforcement Intelligence Processes” - found that “52 percent of respondents agreed and 34 percent strongly agreed that sovereign citizens were a serious terrorist threat”as opposed to 39 percent of respondents who agreed and 28 percent who strongly agreed that Islamic extremists were the most serious threat.
A previous sample on terror threats taken in 2006-2007 found that sovereign citizens were the eighth-most serious threat to non-federal law enforcement. Islamic extremists led that survey’s threat index....

A loose grouping of American litigants, commentators, tax protesters and financial scheme promoters. They blend into the right wing politically and receive support through the political dogma of the Republican extremists. They have already proven to murder, yet, when those events become real and lives are taken and other lives effected the killers are denounced as having the same 'spirit' of great Americans that carry guns as a matter of self governance.

They rely on common law to state they actually care about justice. Their justice is at the muzzle of a gun.

The principles and rules of action, (click here) embodied in case law rather than legislative enactments, applicable to the government and protection of persons and property that derive their authority from the community customs and traditions that evolved over the centuries as interpreted by judicial tribunals.

What was the economic scheme of the Bush White House? Yes, there was a scheme and quiet possibly Paul Krugman was the first to pick up on it. Remember?

"Stave the Beast" 

Now, what is obstruction all about?

...Although (click here) it is commonly believed that the Laffer curve – the idea that tax cuts pay for themselves – is the core Republican idea about tax policy, this is wrong. The true core idea is something called starve-the-beast – the idea that tax cuts will force cuts in spending precisely because they reduce revenue. But there are slight indications that some conservatives have awakened to the reality that not only does starve-the-beast not work, but it also leads to higher spending....

Why do I bring this up? Because the spin of the GOP is tax reform to put the burden back on the Middle Class. These sovereign citizens and their unwitting followers actually think a national sales tax OR 9-9-9 will bring the national deficit under control.

O.K., the beast is starving. (click here)  Now what? That’s the question confronting Republicans. But they’re refusing to answer, or even to engage in any serious discussion about what to do.

For readers who don’t know what I’m talking about: ever since Reagan, the G.O.P. has been run by people who want a much smaller government. In the famous words of the activist Grover Norquist, conservatives want to get the government “down to the size where we can drown it in the bathtub.”...

And other word for the sovereign citizen is ANARCHIST.

These groups and used for political fodder by FOX are ideologues without the means to pay even their lease on federal lands. I suppose if I were in debt to the federal government for fees in the six to seven figure range I'd find god, too. 

The country will recognize the rhetoic of the GOP and their minions such as Bundy if they begin to understand this aspect of 'freedom by a gun.' We are a country of laws and not men or women. The country has become so saturated with guns because of these bozos many households have guns to defend themselves because police can't respond fast enough. The country has been polluted with this political rhetoric and they call it liberty besides.

I'll tell you what liberty is. It is safe streets, safe neighbors and a good quality of life whereby in a capitalist based society people can earn money to pay the basics, for a vacation and savings for the future. 

Why is it Liberty is defined with a gun?

Why? A gun? A citizen has to afford the Liberty in order to enjoy it. That's Liberty? I don't think so.
