Only hindsight will tells us who is the first casualty. The governments will choose the most egregious, least sympathetic, individuals for their test cases. Their sacrifice will not be viewed as such, but as justifiable to the soccer moms who are the final arbiters of this debate. First to go are the loudmouths, miscreants and oafs among us. They will be silenced, tied up in legal nonsense forever. The governments will be patient to allow them to make the fatal mistake. And, if the governments get impatient, they will initiate sanctions, a la Ruby Ridge and Waco. The tried and true method, right?
