Those days are long gone, wounded knee, Ruby ridge, Waco.
If you run afoul of one of their laws, most likely your contact will be with a local police officer. If he leaves with a load of buckshot in his ass, they will come down on you in biblical proportion. You will not win.
It's not necessary to "win" or even to load up. There mere threat of 1 out of 1000 principled bathtub gin owners (or whatever) taking a stand is enough to influence the power.

Nobody "won" at Waco but the rules of engagement are forever changed.
