6. Frankly, the wingnut talking heads would love that
Having the government sweep down and arrest a guy for hiding behind a computer screen while he's advocating his Second Amendment rights.

It would play wonderfully into that "Obama brownshirts" meme they tried to launch last year during the election.

No thanks, I'd rather see arrests of people who are actually committing violence. Arrests of anyone doing less than that just plays into the hands of the right wing, who are desperately searching for a reason to describe our President as some sort of tin-pot dictator who rounds up those who merely disagree with him.
