Farmer,
Dude. I love your passion, but I wounder who you would shoot first? Tossing the tea into the harbor didn't get freedom. It took a war. But we are not dealing with a king George, yet.
The tea party then, as now, are not only to serve notice to a repressive government, but also to unite the people.
When ever we see someone shooting at a abortion clinic, those of us who are against abortion are forced to go defense mode instead of offense. I don't think that we want to fight a civil war, unless it is the last hope for freedom.
Keep the passion and save the guns for the last. And only if necessary.
By the way, that reminds me of my new favorite Joke; A man is having lunch with a friend, who is a stock broker. He leans across the table and whispers " OK I know you are not really suppose to say without me paying you a fee, but what is the best investment I can make, at this time". The stockbroker whispers back "food storage and ammunition".

"It is not enough to know that God lives, that Jesus Christ is our
Savior, and that the gospel is true. We must take the high road by acting
upon that knowledge." Elder Dallon H. Oaks
"The Lord works from the inside out. The world works from the outside in. The world would take people out of the slums. Christ takes the slums out of people, and then they take themselves out of the slums. The world would mold men by changing their environment. Christ changes men, who then change their environment. The world would shape human behavior, but Christ can change human nature."
--Ezra Taft Benson, "Born of God", Ensign, July 1989, 2
