I can't prove this, but I suspect they have some way of finding out who has a firearm, so they can avoid that person.

I also suspect, but cannot prove, that the media will hide it when one of them gets shot. I say this because one of them got hit by a car and it wasn't nationwide news served up by tearful news anchors about this innocent agent who would never hurt a fly.

We're already pretty close to open civil war. Might as well rip the bandaid off and get it over with i guess. I'd rather not, but that's the way things seem to be going.

They might intensify their efforts a little faster than they would have otherwise, but I guarantee you they will intensify their efforts either way.

For starters its suicide.

They're killing you anyway. May as well take a few of em with you.

If they're going to kill you anyway, seems like fighting back is better than just letting them do it.
