The short answer is that the federal government is not oppressing these people. They are defending court houses and federal institutions against violent leftist rioters. Lawful gun owners are not going to get in gun battles with police on behalf of far left rioters who hate them. Gun owners assemble peacefully and Hillary Clinton and the media calls them domestic terrorists. These people in blue cities assemble with the intent to be violent and destroy their communities and they are called peaceful protesters. The left is incapable of making any meaningful distinction or they really are completely disingenuous about them. We are not comrades. They deserve to be arrested and charged. Nice try, losers. They all laughed when the feds killed that Bundy rancher saying he got what he deserved in the standoff with the feds.
