Well, this is not a threat, it is not an empty statement, it is not rhetoric, it is a simple fact and I will live and die by it:
I would not like to see anybody come to my house in an attempt to take my guns.
I will remain law-abiding and peaceful as long as I possibly can, but any attempt to take my guns, from the UN to the local constable, will be met with resistance.
And that's the bottom line.
Whether anyone else believes in it or not, I truly believe in the 2nd Amendment to the US Constitution.
And the phrase: "...from my cold dead hands.", has a lot of meaning to me.
And I do not believe I am alone.
"And I do not believe I am alone."
You are very far from being alone. I feel exactly the same way, and many others that I know also do. We are all aware that anyone coming to disarm you is not doing so for your health or well-being, but the intent to enslave or kill you. Giving up one's guns to ANYONE involuntarily is akin to a woman letting a criminal handcuff her - everyone KNOWS what's coming next, and anyone would be insane to let it happen without an all-out fight.
In addition to being a human being who has a Natural Law right to self defense, and an American with specific legal protections of my RKBA, I am a Jew. I don't think that it takes much imagination to understand why I will NEVER be disarmed until I'm dead (and then I'll do the best to ensure that my family retains the means of self defense).
I suggest that all gunowners who are able to do so obtain at least one gun that cannot be traced to you. Don't break any laws in acquiring the gun or possessing it, but if you can do it, then DO IT! Acquire it for cash, and acquire ammo, spare parts, reloading equipment and supplies for it the same way. If the gun is the same model as another gun you have, so much the better - you'll be very familiar with it. Then make sure that this gun and the related supplies are safely stored elsewhere. This way, no one will be able to take ALL of your guns, no matter who is in office or what treaties the Comm-Symp MFs sign.
