I believe we are now on the same page.
Before congress rushes to ‘never let a crisis go to waste’, they need to understand that every county has a sheriff and sheriffs are sworn to defend the constitution and protect their citizens from the feds if it comes to that.
I’m not going to get into a lot of your “what ifs” here... But the answers to your questions are easy to answer.
Neither will freepers
This says it all.
In 1929 , the Soviet Union established gun control. From 1929 to 1953 ,
about 20 million dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded
up and exterminated.

Defenseless people rounded up and exterminated in the 20th Century
because of gun control: 56 million.
Yes we are different. For example we have an all volunteer military. Not mandatory service, not conscription not required for culture advancement, etc.
Do you know many individualists under 30? Are they a majority? A plurality? A minority? Or are they an anomaly?
They may yet save us.

You won’t see me nully, but I’ll wave to you from a distance when you’re being ushered to a FEMA camp while you’re also waiting for the coming Revelation. You know most of this is nonsense talk.
I don’t think I’ll be allowed to live long enough to see the inside of a FEMA camp.
I’m also an agnostic, for whatever that’s worth.
All dressed up, destination unknown...
The author does touch the subject of every human being's 'natural right' to self-defense and the extension of this natural right.
Article - "These statements do not create any rights, but simply recognize preexisting “natural rights” "
If you mean "we" as in "you and I" then oh oh it is because we was smart enough to get out (all the way out) when the getting was GOOD!
I won’t comply either. I reserve the authority to defend and protect my life and those I love from any aggression or aggressor who means to intimdate me into complying with their demand or whoever intends on injuring or killing anyone.
I will not be disarmed and made venerable, that is “defenseless”.
It is my right and moral obligation, God given, to save myself, those I love and anyone near me from death.
I will use any means to overcome and overpower anyone or beast who would attempt to kill or maim.
You may have my guns after I run out of ammunition but, that ammunition will be sent downrange in your direction with accurate fire.
I have never nor do I have any thoughts of being a 1st aggressor and never harmed a man or thing who did not strike me first.
I abhor violence but, the only way prevent violence is the knowledge of all men that their first strike will be met with an even greater force to end their actions and that may very well result in great bodily injury to them or their death.
All men know this. The rational ones.
For the KuhRayZee and Demented, as well those who are evil, conscience has left them long ago as to what is right and what is wrong. For they will act on the stories they tell themselves and they are not to be trusted nor will they be allowed to prevail. The outcome for them is predictable. They will be ended or subdued and circumstances will dictate whatever the result is.
Leave me alone.
Well, we threw out the government those citizens chose to keep, so yes on GB.
Nazi Germany, Soviet Russia...
Those two governments don't exist anymore.
Commie China and Khmer Rouge Cambodia
Not much freedom for gun owners or anybody else in those two countries. We don't tolerate the other repressions routinely done in those countries, I don't know why anyone should expect we will roll over on the gun issues.
Do we really have some magical genetic protection from it ever happening here?
No we don't. And previous stands against tyranny doesn't provide magic protection today. That is why we have to be prepared to refresh the Tree of Liberty any time it is needed. We just need to provide it with some tyrants along with the patriots.
“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.”
- Ronald Reagan
Either the Book of Revelation is wrong, and even as an agnostic that bothers me*, or we are rendered irrelevant in the Final Battle.
That bothers me too.
*Yes, I know that makes absolutely no sense. It is what it is...
Most of us hard working folks cannot afford the time off work and the cost of the fight, but I have longed for someone with the means and temperament to be arrested for open carry and take it all the way to SCOTUS. No where in the 2nd does it say anything about concealed permits and other such nonsense and restrictions, but we have tolerated it in fear of the fight to SCOTUS not turning out our way. Actually now and with the next SCOTUS appointment that fear rings true.
Just like when Wyatt Earp and others posted their towns as no-gun zones, that was against the law but some people think he was justified.
Nully won’t be going anywhere. I’ll be at his side sending .308 downrange.
Neither will ours, at least in any recognizable form, if they go down that bloody road.
No we don't. And previous stands against tyranny doesn't provide magic protection today.
That is exactly my point.
Perhaps you should modify your first line in post #2 so that it reads: “they will try...”
