Massive civil disobedience would work. No one complies with an order to register, surrender or “sell-back” to the tyrants. Derisive laughter would add a nice grace note to the refusal to comply.
That is in fact where I believe we are headed, and the idea ought to be encouraged at every opportunity. It worked for Martin Luther King, and it will work for us. Sometimes, you must must fight for your freedom - peacefully, if at all possible - but let us never shy away from defending ourselves against the gun-grabbing thugs in and out of government - by whatever means necessary.

We have a winner!
In part that’s what “going Galt” is all about. They can’t take my stuff if I’m not working very hard. If the government is going to treat me like a slave - which they are, apparently - then I’ll respond as a slave, with sullen defiance and, if I can get away with it, undermining and subversion.
By the way, there’s another way to create civil disobedience. There was an Italian communist named Antonio Gramscii who suggested that the best way for the left to take over the West was to slowly infiltrate cultural institutions and use those institutions to propogate their beliefs. He called it “the long march through the institutions.” Well, I’m an English teacher at a local high school, and I’m taking a long march through THEIR institutions. My students read Solzhenitsyn, and my colleague has his students read “Animal Farm.” We are busy undermining leftist ideology one child at a time. I’m on Facebook with many former students, and I spend a lot of time promting thought in opposition to leftist ideas. And, of course, my son has been schooled by me since the day he was born.
Here’s an example. My son comes home with a worksheet about fish farming (a big deal up here in Alaska). The worksheet is an anti-farming diatribe. I ask him how fish are farmed (he doesn’t know), why fish are farmed (ditto), and where they are farmed (ditto). We look over the worksheet and eventually he realizes that the focus of this reading was to teach him how he is supposed to think about a certain issue - in other words, it’s propaganda. So we move on to the questions. The first question (no kidding): “How do you feel about fish farming?”
His answer made me proud. The answer: “I feel like eating some fish sticks.”
He’s a well-liked kid, and told his friends about how stupid the assignment had been, and they laughed about his answer. Score one for the good guys. Or, as Alinsky has taught us, ridicule is impossible to defend against.
This is a cold civil war. We are termites. Someday the whole structure will collapse under the weight of its own contradictions, and the people will remain.
IMHO. God help us.
“Massive civil disobedience would work. “
Look at how the “American People” are voting right now. I mean voting with their $ at gun shows and gun shops. They are going “all in”. This is the real American People, not that nebulous group politicians refer to.
Referencing 1995 60Minutes —
Dianne Feinstein: “If I could have gotten 51 votes in the Senate of the United States, for an outright ban, picking up [every gun]… Mr. and Mrs. America, turn ‘em all in.”
This single person (being kind, here) wants to dictate to the entire country. Same thing happening in Cliff/Debt talks in secret; a few senators dictating to the entire country. Same thing with regulations coming down.
We are looking at the same climate (rule by a few elites) that the Founding Fathers sought to free us from.
How about massive civil disobedience on all fronts. Guns may be the focus now. Other issues as the real American People get the whiff of Royal Dictator Rule.
