I understand what you are saying but I have to explain that being at the beginning of one can be difficult to discern. Albert Einstein Left Germany very early on while so many others still clung to the notion that Germany was not going to turn ugly. I am not saying I'm equivalent to an Einstein. Only that some people can see it earlier than others. I think since Ruby Ridge and Waco have created so much concern that the government has pulled back from it's overly aggressive attitude towards the fringe elements in our society. Back towards equal rights for all again. Not just equal rights for the main stream, as I think X believes even if she's not aware of it. And a final thought. Since I believe the 2nd amendment grants the right to own any firearm I have the attitude that the warrant was unconstitutional, because it's not possible to charge someone with a weapons violation or search for weapons that the government says are illegal to own when the constitution says differently. The BATF had no business being there to begin with. Think about the BATF. They exist only to protect the government, not the people. it's a fallacy to say if they enforce laws they are protecting the people. They operate outside the constitution because they act against free exercise of the 2nd amendment and they enforce tax regulation. Nothing that helps the people, only the government. So when the government creates agencies that are for it's own protection from the people bells should start ringing and "the people" should do something about it.
