Crazy, isn't it? You can't stay under the radar forever.
I'd rather have "the list" so large that it scares the crap out of anyone who wants to take us on.
I'm a Life Member of the NRA, subscribe to gun magazines, buy ammo and supplies on the net, and DHS can watch me all day long. They'll see my Gadsden Flag (they need to see millions of them). I might have to change to the Gonzales Flag soon.
Heck, we're all on it anyway, if we have been the least bit activist about our rights, or ever decried the crap the Government has pulled. We are 'dissidents', and we are armed, 'nuff said.
As for the ones who would hide under the bed with the dust kittens, they should expect no kinder, gentler treatment. If anyone gets dragged to the camps, they'll go, too, only in shame that just having made their voice heard might have made the difference.
Sure, some people think that by "compromising" they can avoid being branded, but in for a penny, and in for a pound. (The alphabet soup agency guys will still trash your place and grill you about the 'off the books' weapons you are sure to have...)
I'm well enough known among the local constabulary, and have held a CCW permit for over 10 years, NRA for 20, etc. I have filled out enough 4473s to come up on the screen.
And anyone who has filled out one will be on there sooner or later.
There is no way to stay off the radar without some really careful moves, and most people have already got their name on 'the list' before they even think about staying off it.
