And if that 99% of people decide to change the constitution to ban guns? Then what? It would no longer be unconstitutional at that point.

The U.S. Constitution only enumerates a few of our God-given rights. It is not the source of those rights. If a people become so debased that they agree to abolish government recognition of their inalienable rights, then they've simply chosen slavery over liberty. It then falls to those who reject enslavement to fight for the rights of all.

When you drop a ball it falls. It hasn’t hit the floor yet, but you know it’s going to; the fact that there are any number of other things that haven’t happened is totally irrelevant to the ball hitting the floor.

Well said. In my wildest dreams I never thought this might come to pass in America, but if it comes down to making a sacrifice for my children and their children, then so be it.

Nobody is coming for your guns except garden variety criminals. The govt doesn’t want that fight.

I've commented many times, that its a certainty that our government has war gamed the scenario of gun confiscation many times, and that their simulations have showed them losing badly, every time.

It's my opinion that an attempt to confiscate Americans' guns would result in a complete reset of our constitutional republic, and would spell the end of left-liberalism in this country forever. That's the last thing the treason lobby wants.

“Do you really want to kill some cop or military member that may have a family and is just obeying his CO?”

But it’s okay for them to kill me and my family?

Sorry, but once someone starts pissing on the Constitution and they follow illegal and immoral orders then they’re no longer a cop or a member of the military. They’re an usurper, a pretender, a tyrant, and a valid target.

And make no mistake, if my family is a valid target to them then their families are valid targets to me.

I have the highest respect for actual law enforcement and military. I’m married to a former Marine and our local sheriff deputies are awesome. I’d expect that if the JBT’s showed up in our area to attack decent people that our deputies would be among the first to fire on them. And we’ll back them up and follow their lawful orders unflinchingly.

As to your proverbial soldiers and cops and that order from their CO? I expect them to refuse to follow the order or to face the consequences. That’s up to them.

I made no mention of surrender.

Sure you did. You laid out a masterful case explaining how resistance to tyranny is futile, in an effort to convince others here that there's nothing they can do about it. That's making the case for surrender.

Here's just part of what you said:

Think about how to escape this tyranny—these bastar*s will kill you with swat teams if you resist. They have all the latest technology in their favor.

Way to rally the troops, sport.

Of course it’s not ok, but you’re an individual aren’t you? You’re not them. Besides we’re talking about confiscation, not just someone coming up and shooting you first. Would you shoot first?

“It hasn’t happened in America and there is only one now.”

Yes, it HAS happened in America. At Ruby Ridge Americans were murdered via illegal ‘shoot-to-kill’ orders because a $200 Federal gun control tax had not been paid. At Waco 86 people were murdered with chemical weapons, tanks, machine guns, and fire because a $200 Federal gun control tax had not been paid.

Since when in America is not paying a $200 tax a death penalty offense?

Since 1992.

“I didn’t know he was here or I would have.”

You’re playing childish word games. You know exactly what i meant. The question and the handwringing agony about shooting at them in uniform should not be directed at we who would be the target of their attack. Instead it should be asked of the people in uniform before they ever follow orders of that nature.

If they do, it is a civic duty to blow out their lamp. They are redcoats, nazis, etc.

And if you are a little creative, ponder something. Genocides are usually done by other members of your society. Hutus killed fellow Rwandans. Nazis murdered fellow Germans. NKVD agents murdered Soviet citizens. Mao murdered Chinese people. Pol Pot murdered Cambodians.

The one who comes to kill you, or to strip away your freedom will almost certainly be an American, in an American uniform, with flag patches on their shoulders. So what? Get over it.

Listen, I am not your enemy and will not fight you—that is called dividing the opposition, something Bo and his tyrants have mastered to an artform. I am just telling you how and what to prepare for. Don’t be misled by all this blowing and blustering by the DC empire. They will not go door-to-door to collect weapons from 100 million gun owners. Back off and stop with the friendly fire.

The only question I have is who has my back. I would not give up my guns no matter what - they would literally be pried from my cold dead fingers. But after that what?

It will only take a few incidents such as you describe, to spark a prairie fire that cannot be extinguished. The word 'viral' seems appropriate.

The resistance will develop organically. It won't need or require leadership, though that may come. It will only take a few to take the first step forward, to begin the charge of the multitudes.

I sincerely doubt that any kind of national confiscation of guns will take place. How are they going to do it? What police or armed authorities are going to go door to door demanding citizens give up their guns? Ain’t going to happen.

Question: "If They Come for Your Guns, Do You Have a Responsibility to Fight?"

Answer: Yes.

Comment: However, it will not happen as there is no leadership, organization or will to fight. As long as the current leadership encourages a degenerate populace to eat, drink, drug, copulate, have a good bowel movement, snore and attend the games nothing will happen except bluster and and an occasional shooting by an isolated individual easily crushed.

When talks of U.N. ‘peacekeeping forces’ within the United States begin, that’s when you know gun confiscation is on the horizon.

“Would you shoot first?”

No, I expect my husband would beat me to it.
