And it could be larger in terms of people who carry out things like sabotage and so forth but don't engage in direct fighting.

Anyway, don't drill too deep or you may miss the forest for the trees.
This thread is basically about protecting a right - long revered - and enshrined in the Constitution.
The most recent flurry of posting activity has been in relation to CT's hastily passed and ill-advised legislation requiring the registration of arms currently in everyday use.
The people of CT (or most of the people, who own such weapons - reportedly not an insubstantial number) in an act of defiance have spoken - peacefully - in a widespread act of civil disobedience.
In response, the "big" newspaper in town has essentially called for prosecution of otherwise law abiding folks who basically just wanted to be left alone.
The lines of conflict have been drawn. The sides are clear - and history has shown that registration leads to confiscation.
The state of CT and the Hartford Courant are forcing a confrontation with respect to supporters of the Second Amendment...otherwise law abiding citizens who became "criminals" overnight...can't you see the relationship between this situation, the current political environment and the quotes provided to you?
The state, the media and other enablers are poking the people in the eye...not to mention running afoul of the Consitution.
Tempers gonna run hot.
