I think you're making a huge leap from not paying a fine to tax evasion
to felony charges in a giant conspiracy to disarm citizens.   If the gun
grabbers would get their way (and they won't), they could come up with
something better than filing felony charges on the masses and lock
everyone up for not paying a healthcare tax fine.  But... maybe that's
what those FEMA camps are for?
