Quite legal?  So were the guns at Waco.  For that matter, so is _talking_ 
and/or joking about assassination politics.  Please visit the appropriate 
prison and/or graveyard to interview the perps for whom that didn't matter.

We no longer live in a nation of laws.  The question today is not "Is this 
legal?"  It is "If caught, will I be persecuted, punished, or killed during 
arrest?"

But y'all all knew that already.
