A statement of advice is found in The Bible which says, 'Be wise as a serpent and harmless as a dove.'
Very good advice, it would seem, for those who would act and behave with wisdom.
Wisdom is not in knowing that you have the power to act but in knowing when and how to act.
As we face great uncertainty in the coming days with regard to the Constitutional protections of our God-given rights, the issue it seems is not allowing ourselves to react in knee-jerk fashion to every single perceived threat to liberty.
The key issue is to act, not react, in response to actual, verified threats to our safety, our right to self-defense, our right to live peacefully in freedom.
The way of the Timothy McVeigh phenomenon is NOT our way. We want absolutely no harm to come to anyone, except in the case of clear self-defense.
On the other hand, when it comes to defending the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the lives of those we love, and our own lives, we will use the resources and tools the Founding Fathers used to procure and guard liberty.
Our forebears were not blood-thirsty barbarians but men and women of reason. And they left us with a clear heritage that spoke of their high regard for human life and liberty, as well as the means by which to protect life and liberty.
This is an entirely reasonable response to direct encroachments upon human freedom.
So it is today. But we have to be absolutely certain that when we act it is in response to a direct affront.

Vanderboegh has said before that he wants "no Fort Sumters," i.e., that our side must not be the first to fire. Which is why it's always irked me to see people make him out to be some sort of trigger-happy crank.
Agreed. Vanderboegh has never advoated for starting a revolution or civil war.
If such a thing happens, it will not be initiated by us. It will be initiated by oppressive government intent on robbing citizens of their rights and liberties.
Excellent reminder, we cannot loose sight of the goal. We as admitted in the 3% must remind everyone to NOT initiate the conflifts.
