Participants at the Come and Take It Fest in Gonzales, Texas, received hospitality from National Pawn, which provided air conditioning and water during extreme heat. Despite walking through the streets with rifles, the group reported positive interactions with local citizens. A local police officer noted that dispatch received only one call regarding subjects with rifles near the old jail during the entire event.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is discussed as having its own military forces and conducting multi-jurisdictional training with local police. The hosts argue that many government workers and IRS agents are merely "pawns" who do not realize they are participating in the dismantling of the Constitution.
