So now you're in a position where you either give your firearms up to the JBT's or you open fire on them. If you're really ready (have a few viet nam souvenirs to turn toward the enemy), then you get a few (or even more than a few.) They will come back in overwhelming numbers and most likely kill you or if you're lucky arrest and after administering a crippling brain damaging beating take you off to jail for murdering their fellow heroes. Best to keep a very low profile and save the fireworks for when there isn't any alternative.
I think that people tend to concentray way too much on armaments to the point of ignoring some other critical capabilities. What’s the old saying? “you can’t outrun the radio”. Think about that a bit.
if the fertilizer were ever to hit the fan, I would hope that we could work *with* local cops to protect our neighborhoods. Most cops *live* in the towns they patrol; it’s in their interests to keep people safe. If you’re a law-abiding citizen, I would argue that most cops aren’t interested in making trouble for you. It’s when people start acting likke crackpots or actually breaking laws that they take notice.
now, to my main point: I’m not worried about JBTs nearly as much as Zero’s Obama Youth, who I have no doubt will be on a racial mission as much as anything else. To deal with that you need to coordinate with your neighbors and you need to have advance notice. Secure comms, night vision, etc are important, as much as armaments, imo. A force, even a defensive one, is useless if it’s blind or disorganized.

First, I don’t think the cops will be running around any neighborhoods after the SHTF. They will be too busy guarding banks, city hall, and their own families to worry about you. Read Fernando Aguirre’s “Modern Survival Manual” about Argentina 2001 to see what happens.
But this essay is just about OPTIONS. If you don’t buy extra guns now, you won’t have the option of arming selected neighbors later.
