Geez, folks!
I did NOT say to hide ALL your fire arms!
I said to get and hide your UNREGISTERED ones.
Imagine they have a list of all registered firearms. They know what you have, and where you live. You may not be home when they come to collect them. They may come to take them with overwhelming force. They may use incapacitating gas agents to remove your ability to resist. Whatever.
Imagine, therefore that they merely collect all your registered guns. They think they’ve got all you have, and if there was no shootout for some reason, and there is no legal reason to arrest you, they let you go. You might want to have some guns the authorities don’t know about to fall back on.
Imagine you are killed in the initial shit using your registered guns. Having a list, they are all confiscated. Your wife and children are left alive, but unarmed. Having some unregistered guns buried off-site would keep them armed if they so chose. Some trusted neighbors that you informed before the shit might also be able to make use of them.
It’s called contingency planning, back-up plans, “action on”. If all you have is registered, readily available guns and ammo, your options may be quite limited, especially if you or your loved ones survive the initial confiscation.
The idea of a Federal takeover, followed by an active resistance movement, is another consideration, well delineated in “Total Resistance” by Major H. von Dach, “The Swiss Army guide to guerrilla warfare and underground operations.” The resistance will do better initially with a few weapons in reserve that were not seized, from which they can plan ops to get more.
If we all go out in a blaze of glory trying our best against troops and LEOs whose life work and daily practice it is to kill or contain people like us, and who come much better armed and organized and trained than we will ever be, then we will have accomplished little more than the Charge of the Light Brigade. We will be like the “dumb bastard” in Patton’s quote, who never won a war dying for our country. It might be better to use deception, usually a key element in military victory.
Do we want to win, or do we want to make a statement?
I suppose I'm one of the few who have nothing left to lose except my life's breath and the loss of that will be hastened by the first wave of 'gun collectors.' but hopefully not before I'm able to knock off at least one traitorous legislator or uniformed individual who has violated their solemn oath to protect my rights.
When that day comes it will be early in their move to confiscate weapons so I'll need all my guns on line, registered or not. God help the poor bastard who dares to come to my door with a phoney warrant.
awesome rant, but i bet most of the guys that slammed yer post were just tossin a bone to the batfag lurkers...
It matters not whether your guns are registered or unregistered. The whole point and purpose of having ANY firearm is to protect yourself and your family from grievous harm, and to maintain the force necessary to dislodge a tyrannical government, should it ever become necessary for the continued survival of the nation.
You think if you stand down and turn over your registered firearms that the storm troopers won't turn over every rock to find any others you might have? Think again.
The right thing to do is to begin making face to face alliances with others who intend to fight back, should the unthinkable happen.
