Because our govt does not fear the population, there will be no deterrence or backing away, there will have to be a fight? It could still be a political fight instead of the other, our fore fathers were wise in what they designed but it would be a big surprise for me.
There are some that are exceptions who are quietly grouping up now, I suppose but you know the govt is looking for and aware of most of these endeavors. The good news is we will group up when we have to, the wise ones will do it before. We have the potential to become a well regulated militia just like our revolutionary start and with the same hard learning curve.
I often think that if I were in Germany in the late 30’s what would I do. Even with the hind site of 70 years, I don't see anything you could have done. In many cases the only wise move was to leave your wealth and get out with only your life if you could. There was/is no safe port in the storm.
I go through scenarios again and again and the answer that floats to the top is God. Do we really believe what we say we believe? Been reading the Bible more.................
Because our govt does not fear the population,
IMHO your premise is flawed right there.
