Bryan Malinowski, executive director of Bill and Hillary Clinton National Airport in Little Rock, was fatally wounded in a shootout as ATF agents tried to serve a search warrant at his home.

An executive for the Little Rock, Arkansas, airport who was killed in a shootout with federal agents this week had been under investigation over gun sales, search warrant records unsealed Thursday show.

Bryan Malinowski, 53, who was executive director of Bill and Hillary Clinton National Airport, was shot after he opened fire at federal agents who arrived to serve a warrant Tuesday morning, officials said.

Malinowski died Thursday, his family said. His brother has said he was shot in the head.

      In the 14xxs the balance of power was fairly even. They didn’t have B52s dropping ninja bombs or A10s or helicopters with mini guns. Gravy Seals will die if they take on the government.

          So you think that the difference between a farm implement and a sword and armour is the same as the difference between an AR15 and a B52 wirh a ninja bombs, an A10, and a helicopter with side mounted mini guns?

          Well then, by all means, have at 'er.

              That is utterly ridiculous. Literally worthy of ridicule.

              The peasant and knight could see each other. They had to be within a few yards of each other. The US government could take you out from an airplane 10 miles up and you would just end without knowing it was coming.

              But, as I say, by all means, bring it. The rest of us would like to have it over and get on with our lives.

                Does the government just bombing poor farmers ever work though? Recent history indicates a handful of determined fighters stand a really good chance against the U.S. military. Actually, has a conventional force ever won against a local insurgency?

                  We’re not taking about our farmers. We’re taking about christofascist Gravy Seals. The vast majority of the population don’t want the US to become a fascist theocratic dictatorship.

                    Not every nutter is a Gravy Seal I promise.

                    Flipped on its head your argument boils down to: If the GOP keeps winning and the country sinks further into fascism we should just give up because we won’t be able to resist the might of the military anyway no matter how many of us don’t want a theocracy.
