The BD's were F'in up, I'm not giving the Gov. an excuse to knock down my door. I think we'll all know ahead of time when the Gov. or whoever will come a callin. Legislation is kind of like civil rights, they don't do you a hell of a lot of good if your DEAD!
And what can a person do if they know ahead of time? Do you think that one man and his family will be able to fight off the entire government.
Think back to the Elian saga down in Miami. The crowds outside the home said that they would block any agents from entering the home. When the agents did show up with guns, however, they parted like the Red Sea and let the agents right on in. They family that had pledged to defend Elian with their life handed him right over when a gun was put in their face.
The only way to keep your right to bear arms safe is to prevent any legislation from being passed that is hostile to that right. The Patriot Act is indeed hostile to the right to keep and bear arms so lot's of gun owing statists are going to be pretty confused once they're confiscated.
