Because last time the feds aggressively went after right wing kooks a federal building was blown up. Not saying that’s a good reason, but that’s pretty much the reason.

This has happened several times. Not the federal building part, but Waco was a PR disaster despite the people at Waco being a dangerous cult; and the feds outright lost against the terrorists at the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge. They lost the conflict, and then they lost in the courts.

It's enough to give militias hope, which is pretty pathetic.
