“Never Forget, even for an instant, that the one and only reason anybody has for taking your gun away is to make you weaker than he is, so he can do something to you that you wouldn’t allow him to do if you were equipped to prevent it. This goes for burglars, muggers, and rapists, and even more so for policemen, bureaucrats, and politicians.”
-Alexander Hope, from the novel “Hope” by L. Neil Smith and Aaron Zelman
That is true....
I should offer an opinion..
Even if the Thugocracy was successful in disarming or rendering many of the weapons held by citizens as less than effective by shutting off access to ammunition — within America there are still HUGE numbers of trained, armed and capable Americans who will view the weapons and armories of police, National Guard, Federal Forces, etc, etc......and simply warehouses of weapons for the citizens...
There is a hell of lot of “stuff” there which is far more dangerous than the “black painted semi-auto long guns with long magazines and thumb hole stocks that so frighten the Leftists....
America is NOT Zimbabwe.....
Washington should be very careful... It will not take much to touch off a brush fire in dry timber with raging gale force winds....
They should tread VERY carefully.
