He was not talking about cooperating with the Feds. He was saying he would pretend to be cooperative while in fact keeping his good guns.
Nothing wrong at all in being sneaky rather than foolishly giving up your life.
Thank you. That was a nice follow on post to #125. ;-)
And what exactly would he be keeping his good guns for? What's he gonna do the next time the jackbooted thugs come calling? Will he give them another throwaway gun, or one of his 'good' guns?
At what point does such a person exercise his God-given right to defend life and property? When all he's got left is a dull kitchen knife? Perhaps at that point, he'll realize what he should have done the first time they came calling.
