:10:01
- A picture's worth 1,000 words.
A) it demonstrates a level

:10:04
of sophistication that you
wouldn't expect out of Militia;

:10:07
B) you know,
:10:09
we're people too.
- Right.

:10:12
- And we have a lot of fun
with it.

:10:14
- Right.
- There was a fundraiser.

:10:15
It showed, um, that we're not
so serious, you know.

:10:18
We're not these conspiracy nuts
who wouldn't want our pictures

:10:21
to get out. The idea...
it was a fundraiser, you know...

:10:25
- I've had guns, um...
:10:29
pretty much since
I was old enough to...

:10:31
to have them. And I learned
how to use them, um...

:10:36
You're silly!
:10:38
Uh, because being a female,
number one,

:10:41
I felt it was important
to be able to protect myself

:10:43
with the best means possible.
:10:45
And one of those means
is having a gun.

:10:47
When a criminal
breaks into your house,

:10:49
who's the first person
you're gonna call?

:10:51
Most people will call the police
because they have guns.

:10:55
Cut out the middleman. Take care
of your own family yourself.

:11:00
If you're not going to protect
your family, who is?

:11:04
- We're not racist,
we're not extremist,

:11:07
we're not fundamentalist, we're
not terrorists or militants

:11:10
or other such nonsense.
- We're citizens.

:11:13
- We're just concerned citizens.
We have a desire

:11:16
to fulfil our responsibilities
and duties as Americans,

:11:18
and armed citizenry
is part of that.

:11:26
- What do you grow here?
- Right now, there's tofu beans,

:11:32
soy beans. Tofu-soy beans.
:11:34
- You're a tofu farmer.
- Yeah. Yeah, food farmer.

:11:38
I'm a food farmer.
- Food.

:11:39
- I grow food for people to eat.
:11:42
No herbicides, no pesticides
on that stuff.

:11:45
- Right. All natural.
- Right.

:11:47
- Yeah. Better.
- Certified organic.

:11:50
- Uh-huh. Healthier.
- Yeah.

:11:51
Basically, yeah.
:11:53
This is James Nichols,
the brother of Terry Nichols.

James graduated from high
school the same year I did,
