Unintended Consequences and Revolution

   Years ago, John Ross' novel Unintended Consequences shocked the BATFE so bad they allegedly went to bookstores and told the owners "Don't sell this book--OR ELSE." Shotgun News put out a $10,000 reward for video proof of this happening. Shortly after the reward was posted, the harassment stopped...for a time.
   At first I thought the reward was a way to boost sales.
   After publishing the book, Mr. Ross went through a divorce. BATFE agents approached his soon to be EX wife and started questioning her about his friends in the Second Amendment community.
   Things that make you go "HMMMMMMMMM."
   Why would the BATFE do such things?
   Because John Ross wrote a historically accurate novel chronicling the "Saga of the American Gunowner" from the days when owning a gun was like owning a horse. Everyone had one. When marksmanship was an honored sport and nobody looked askance at gun owners.
   Contrast that to today when nibbling a pop-tart into a gun shaped pastry will get a kid suspended from school.
   But that's not WHY the BATFE was harassing bookstore owners.
   The protagonist is Henry Bowman, a geologist with a passion for guns. While house-sitting for a friend, the BATFE decides to raid. Bowman kills most of the agents and interrogates two others to learn the raiders intended to plant evidence on his friend.
   Henry goes to war with the help of a few friends. They go right for the heart of the matter--killing anti-gun politicians in embarassing ways. Inspired by these few, others take up arms and the war spreads beyond killing BATFE agents and statist politicians. Bureaucrats are also on the kill-list.
   THAT is what the BATFE is afraid of. Someone might decide to use this plan and thin out the herd some.
   There's LOTS of talk of rebellion and revolution online. Undoubtedly, the government would love to see patriots go toe to toe with the assembled forces of the DHS and some units of the military that might (emphasis on MIGHT) be convinced to fire upon Americans.
  In reality, the war will be fought quietly and in such a way to deny the government their wishes. This book shows in a fictional way how to go about it.
