Quite the contrary, dear Sir.
No one here is actively advocating the violent overthrow of the Federal Govt. Nor are they discussing anything else illegal. As a FLEO, I'm fairly fluent in that. I work for a very large Federal Law Enforcement Agency (not allowed to publicly divulge which one-- liability), and no one here has ever said anything even remotely wrong to my recollection. I'm also not appointed to monitor anyone either.LOL There is a huge difference between giving one's opinion and seriously advocating violence against our elected govt. in a public forum. It's not hard to keep it between the lines at all.
Heck even FEMA (shudder, followed by no comment...) is trying to encourage people to prepare for potential future calamity.http://www.fema.gov/areyouready/
Heck, since the grasshoppers won't listen, they've even stooped to using "Zombies" in an effort to market a preparedness mindset. http://blog.fema.gov/2011/05/from-cdc-pr...ombie.html

Now if you mean that you want to practice good OPSEC about your own personal preps to keep them from being compromised by those who would seek to rob you--- then I think you certainly have a good point. We should always practice at least some modicum of that.
As for me breaking OPSEC on guns? I don't give out too much useful personal info for those private individuals who might seek to rob me. As for the .gov??? I've filed so many form 1's and form 3's with the ATF for registration of my own weapons that I hardly care what they know about me. They already know I have a pile of legal weapons, so what's left for me to hide?LOL Between that and my occupation I pretty much just presume that every single thing I say or do is subject to possible scrutiny and comport myself appropriately with that in mind. I already freed my mind, so my @$$ just followed...
