What I was getting at is for most of it is too late. Our neighbors know we hunt. The see us load up and go to the range. We got the trucks that say "Sportsman". There's the bass boat. We're already profiled.

Yes, and when things get so bad in the USA that firearms confiscations begin, you won't be able to use them for hunting or going to the range anyway and so you can cache them securely, along with your Smith and Wesson T-shirt and Colt belt-buckle until a more enlightened era comes around.  You can continue fishing and take up bow-hunting and tell all of your friends who have become sheep and turned in their guns to be destroyed that you have done the same, and then change the subject.  You can even show them the receipt for the 'junk gun' that you actually turned in as evidence of this.

Some 'select' weapons are of course kept for home protection, so that you will at least have the opportunity to be judged by twelve as opposed to being carried by six if some criminal thug decides to break into your home or carjack you.

And all the while, you tell NOBODY that you have a gun.

After all, how are you going to be able to get to the polls to vote for rescinding the gun ban if you are in jail for firearms violations?

All of us have different circumstances but a thoughtful and a suitably creative person can usually find a way to deal with a threat, and also to have the agility and stealth necessary to make changes in order to address a changing threat.

If you can't use you guns there isn't much point in having any. If anything we need more people with more guns and those people using them. Owners need to be organized. There is more safety in numbers.

Anyway, the government can't stop all the other illegal crap that's going around now, how could it take up all the firearms? Prohibition never works.
