And if you freak out in anger and rage and try to get revenge, who will you go after?

Anything! See I still have my guns....and just by coincidence several thousands like me see what they are doing to me, and are also being treated the same way, lots of them former military. Then others who are perpetual sheep see whats happening to me and they and realize they will be next if they don't joint and don't make a stand. Its called “The Spartacus Syndrome”, except we wont need Silacian Pirates to take us away to avoid the military here, and by the time they realize that the people Alzheimer's Joe sent to eradicate are just like them, and in some cases served with them, and they will have to register their weapons to defend their families, then they switch sides, and old Joe will have to build a bigger fence.

I didn’t read much of it, but only because Matt has discussed this notion repeatedly on his Youtube videos with Ferfal (the Modern Survivalist).

If you refuse to register — I fully intend not to register — you could wind up with your bank card pulled, for example. Thus, it is good, while you can, to get things like bitcoin, silver and gold. As ammo is durable, and most of it currently sells for around a buck a round, it can make perfectly good currency as well.

Also, get lots of food and other preps to help ride out your digital enslavement with bartering and survival.

I’m going to go ahead and skim the article, as there are probably things I haven’t thought of.

PING!

Well, I’m glad I went back and read it. Definitely more things than I though of.

If I didn’t know who Matt was, this article would scream to me, “Just give up.”

Well, I’m not giving up. Nobody else should, either. If only a few people resist, they will be destroyed. If everybody resists, and the government goes through with such a nefarious scheme, THEY will risk being destroyed via lack of revenues following the economic collapse resulting from the isolation of 80 million or so Americans.

This is a typical result of playing Defense only.

We have doors to knock on ourselves.

The 2nd Amendment would have to be abolished for this crap to go down. Can’t see that happening during my life, but several generations from now, probably so.

Was fortunate to have lived in America when it was not a police state. Today’s youth will never know what they missed out on.

I guess you can learn Spanish and get paid in cash for working and then buy everything that way, living as a non-citizen.

Is that your plan? If not, what is your plan?

This works both ways, though. Get my employer to fire me, I have no income and therefore no tax liability. I also drastically curtail discretionary spending. If 100 million people are doing the same thing, government gets to enjoy Depression-style unemployment and losses of revenue. Barring an actual criminal conviction, those 100 million people still have the right to vote. Enough angry people at the polls and even aggressive vote fraud won't be enough.

There are also civil remedies that would come into play, as soon as the first person who doesn't actually own a prohibited firearm gets persecuted for owning one.

Canada tried to register all long guns. Nobody complied. They eventually gave up. If it were this easy, Canada, whose people are comparatively obedient and whose government is repressive compared to ours, would have forced compliance by doing this. They didn't even try.

Spartacus and his homies didn't have well paying jobs, home mortgages, car payments, two kids in college, two in high school with soccer practices on weekends and cheer leading practice after school...........

When the irag war started a lot of civilans were murdered by thier own neighbors. The squealers, rats, government informants - basiclly the kens and karens were killed not by coalition forces but by the people they had been tormenting when there was a government. My point. If this happens as the article says it will, a few people wont wait until they are cometwly electronically cut off before the blood starts running in the street. What does a man have to lose when hes got nothing left but his rifle and a few rounds of ammunition? Just saying, a few arent going to go quietly..

“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? After all, you knew ahead of time that those bluecaps were out at night for no good purpose. And you could be sure ahead of time that you’d be cracking the skull of a cutthroat.”

“It’s better to consider all the threats before they arrive.”

Exactly. Running war game scenarios on FR is a good exercise to imagine responses to fed tyranny.

This is the problem.

In my constitution, gun loving circle of family and friends, we have a

pretty cush life. Its a great life. Nice large house with a good retirement

and vacations every year. Even during this COVID “lockdown”. Ill go

ahead and speak for my BIL. He would turn in his weapons. No doubt

in my mind. He would choose his cush life. My really good friends?

They have very good lives. I really don’t know what they would do if the

rubber finally hit the pavemement. Me? Ive posted before, I draw the

line at my guns. Thats my hill. I hope millions of other gun owners

choose this hill as their last stand.

All of the people in government that support this, those running collection centers, maintaining databases have to sleep 8 hours a day and they have kids and spouses.

I would think that attacking and hacking these databases would be a prime target.

You make a excellent point. Every legal purchase I’ve made through a gun shop, online store, regardless of a pistol or long gun required paper work filled out. Where that goes, who knows?

However, the gangbangers, thugs, Obama’s sons, call that what you will, won’t dare fill out any forms.

So if this really were to happen, the law abiding citizen would become cannon fodder for the rest. Maybe that’s actually be part of the Marxists plan.

"If not, what is your plan?"

Step one of whatever plan I may or may not have is never talking details over the interwebs.

You're an American - forward-thinking and innovation is in your DNA.
Your mind is your best asset.
You don't need to work within their system.

I read that one is coming here. I read that they are already using it, or variations of it in Communist China.
