That's a good idea. I did that about 18 years ago.
In a banana republic pirate law is the only real law.

I've pasted the whole column below. But there is a video that can only be seen on the site/not embedded here. So please, if you support my work, visit the site. If not, no problem.
"Now before you label this as a “crazy” post, I’m not talking about, nor am I predicting some doomsday scenario. Don’t expect me to be selling you seeds, food preserves or bomb shelters anytime soon. That is not what I am suggesting here.
I’m also not suggesting that you need to buy yourself an AR15 to fight off an onslot of newly married gays. Okay? Okay. So please do more than glance at this headline, and allow me to make my case.
What I am suggesting is that this week, in two monumental rulings, the SCOTUS has showed us that they are no longer bound by, nor do they hold any respect for the United States Constitution. For guns, that matters.
The SCOTUS has now declared all healthcare, and marriage to be fundamental human rights. So much so, that it is now the job of the federal government to force them upon both you as an individual, and the state as law. Now, I don’t see either of these things in the United States Constitution.
Crazy thing about the Constitution, is that it actually does outline our rights, pretty expressly. As a matter of fact, one could argue that it’s the purpose of the document. Enumerated and all that jazz. Healthcare and gay marriage… isn’t in there. You know what is? Your right to own a gun.
As a matter of fact, according to the Constitution, that is one of the very few rights in which the states are not reserved the right to regulate entirely as they see fit. In case you haven’t read it, let me paste it for you below.
“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”
Pretty cut and dry. Yet unlike marriage, unlike subsidized health Insurance, SCOTUS has allowed states to, in fact… INFRINGE! Hell, some states have made it pragmatically impossible to carry a weapon on your person. So clearly, when it comes to even using the Constitution as a guideline, the SCOTUS has jumped the shark.
Regardless of where you line up on same-sex marriage, or even if you personally want free healthcare, there is no arguing that the SCOTUS has displayed an unprecedented use of power when compared to the entirety of American history. There’s also no argument about the fact that the SCOTUS is leaning more and more to the left.
The left has been very, very clear on their ambitions to make guns harder and harder to access. For all citizens. Not just criminals. We know their playbook. I’m not saying that your guns will be taken away tomorrow, but that is the end-game.
What is beyond any shadow of a doubt however, is that the SCOTUS has now been given the power, to infringe on your right to bear arms. They could come down with some ruling next June requiring guns to be limited to some arbitrary loading capacity, rendering all of your firearms illegal. I’m not saying that they will, but for the first time in our adult lives, this is entirely within the realm of possibility.
We also have already witnessed the great ammo shortage of 2008-2013. Pragmatically speaking, the SCOTUS has myriad ways in which they could – should they choose – systematically disarm American citizens, but equally important is the way the market responds to SCOTUS decisions. The tides are turning on guns. It’s a losing issue for Democrats, so they could never address it head-on. They could however, enforce what would seem to be a very marginal gun law, which could in turn force firearm companies to change their procedures (be it manufacturing, distribution etc.), causing a shortage, raising prices making it nigh impossible for you, the American citizen to purchase a firearm.
So if for any reason, you’ve ever wanted to buy a firearm but haven’t gotten around to it, I highly suggest that you do so soon. Because at the very least, we are in uncharted territory as Americans, and it’s better for you to have made your decision now, than to be on the outside, banging on the door to get in."

Happily there are already millions of guns in the hands of the citizenry that the fed gov’t has no record of.
And my collection, whatever it may or may not be, I would like to pass on to my son and daughter...
I’ve moved on to mortar tubes and landmines. /sarc
A must! And keep them handy and loaded. F the law.
Great advice.
Bump.
Not being snarky, but I just learned a new term on FR:
“Blogger doom porn”
Not saying that’s what you’ve written on SCOTUS & the right to bear arms. But you are suggesting that SCOTUS no longer is bound by checks & balances or separation of powers, and is now inclined to truly “legislate from the bench” as a result of the implications of these two recent decisions?
If so, I’m doom-scared. Should point out it’s not the first time America has faced a rogue Supreme Court. Earl Warren, anyone?
Real question: Anthony Kennedy is no longer a swing vote, he’s now part of the liberal majority, true?
Guns and ammo unaccompanied by the will and the skill to use them are useless.
You named the game correctly.
Nice to see someone else who gets it.
Thanks,

Excellent point, but you're actually short... its was THREE decisions in 24 hours...
13-1371: Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs v. The Inclusive Community Project, Inc.
Basically, SCOTUS said intent no longer matters... for proving housing discrimination (for now, but in a generation, it WILL be applied to criminal law, guaranteed). Instead, they said that the courts may now substitute "unconscious prejudice". So, you may not have known that you wanted to be racist, but your honorable government knows if you actually were or not, and will punish you accordingly.
Yep. Feds in the wire!
Ownership is no problem and I think it’s every person’s right in the USA. I do however, hate the fact the guns (ahem OWNERS) have to be ‘registered.’
Me too. That’s why I like all those unregistered guns out there.
