I appreciate your level-headedness, and I definitely get where you're coming from, but I need to point out the big gaping blindspot in your argument: the crackdowns and the facism are already here, and they've pretty much demonstrated they don't particularly care for or wait for justification.
Do you see why arguing "you're giving them ammo and justification" rings very hollow at this particular point in time?
