forgive me for the following presumption, but I think Ancesthntr takes for granted that big Gubmint has been watching Freep for years - hell, when Janet the fascist wrote that rightwing terrorist threat bulletin some time back, she probably wanted to include the FR logo as the main illustration on the front page!
It seems to me that he is ready to say no when the authorities start the confiscation of weapons, and probably ready to fight when the jackboots come back to knock on (or knock down...) the door when he doesn’t comply.
And for Anceshntr, I might have you sized up wrong on this, but that’s not the meat of this matter. The real question is how many of us will react when the authorities “ask” for our weapons.
Look at how it happened historically. Hitler claimed the greater good of society was served by the weapons confiscation, blamed the Jews, disarmed them first - then unleashed kristalnacht. Likewise Stalin, Mao, the Turks against the Armenians, and so on. And for those who say it can’t happen here (not you two guys, you know better) I offer Katrina and the local law confiscating guns.
People give up their weapons for fear of what can happen to our families if they don’t... even as we know enough about human history that the thinking part of our brains tells us it will only be worse if we do give up our weapons.
That’s the question, Fraters — and we won’t know the answer as a society until - like a military unit seeing combat action for the first time - we see the proverbial “elephant” knocking on our door with the choice at hand.

If you wait until there is a SWAT stack outside your door you’ve waited far too long to be of any use to team Freedom in the fight to restore liberty. Your choices then are very limited: surrender or die.
If OpFor convinces us that nothing except them at our own front door is worth fighting for then we have already lost.
