Why bury something that you may find yourself suddenly in need of...
Those that would come to take your weapons, are those that they should be used on. You wont have time to dig ‘em up!
No one in their right mind will bury all of their arms.
The idea is to cache some weapons and ammunition for a time following the coming attempted confiscations should the “rebellion” fail and you be stripped of your second amendment protected right.
That way the resistance will not be forced to tool up and create weapons and ammunition from scratch. It’s not to protect your main battle rifle, but to give you a chance to rearm should you be forced to abandon it to keep your life.
I think the recommendation is to bury one or two that you would be thankful that you have.
If “they” come to your door, just give them all you have. Dig up what you need after “they” have gone. It would be reckless and probably wrong to resist gun confiscation. However, it would be your civic duty to suddenly remember that you had buried that long distance scoped rifle and a 45 pistol somewhere else.
In the meantime, that compound bow you have might come in handy.
