You know, there are plenty of steps to take after a gun ban, but before we have a "hot" civil war. Many acts of protest, breaking the statist's things and equipment, sending messages of resistance, rallying the public to our cause. Lots of things.

But if it comes down to, as Claire Wolfe put it, "shooting the bastards", well, let's just say I ain't planning to turn my guns in.

The gun grabbers really need to think this through; I fear that they are so involved with their groupthink that they do not understand their own personal peril. I am old enough to remember how all of the Hollywood liberals squeeled like pigs when they watched the Watts riots, and then came begging to borrow guns from those that they despised for owning guns.

The Constitution is a pact — citizens will accept the laws of the politicians as long as the politicians respect the rights of citizens recognized by the Constitution. If the politicians step far enough over that bright line, they do so at their peril; citizens will not obey the laws, and may well resist with violence; it is called “the consent of the governed”.

When the SWAT teams confiscating guns kill the first gun owner, they will be crossing a very bright line.

If Congress passes a law to enable this, then every single Congressman who voted for it, and their staffs, become legitimate targets. If this is done by executive order, then every single member of the Administration, from the lowliest secretary to the highest Czar, from Homeland Security to EPA to BATFE to SEC to DE to ..., are legitimate targets. Lemme give you a clue — that is a very target rich environment, and there are not enough Federal agents or police to protect them all.

If the MSM members are cheering on the confiscation, they become legitimate targets. If State and local politicians cheer them on, they also become legitimate targets. If the Leftist thinktanks are cheering them on ... it might be time to clean their houses as well.

If the populace of the big cities are cheering them on ... maybe they would like to do so without electricity and/or water. Because the electrical net is so fragile, I suspect that as few as 5 people with rifles could drop the grid in an afternoon.

And ... the Professors and Administrators in the halls of higher education may rue the day that they insisted that their Universities become “gun-free zones”.

All the SWAT teams in the country cannot stop even 100 people who are an “army of one”. The FBI and Homeland Security cannot stop those 100 people, because they will act alone, and have no co-conspirators to rat them out.

Remember, when you become over-awed the the might of the Federal Government -— two people with one rifle in one car shut down the DC area for more than a week. What if they had been targeting Federal installations and their employees on the way to/from work — would the civil servants still have driven into work each day, when only one of them per day was being knocked off?

If a gun owner knows the SWAT teams are coming to get them and their guns, and they know they will face a hail of bullets ... it is easy to choose to become an army of one and go after the softer targets - the people that are directing them. They don’t talk to anybody about it ... they just get prepared to do it.
