Two points:
1-- I don't think I could successfully bury guns underground and expect them to be in working condition years later when I might dig them up. I think they would be rusted and whatever container I used would probably be compromised by seeping ground water.
2-- The reason to bury your guns in the face of gun confiscation, rather than start the Second American Revolution right away, is that until the government steals more liberty than just your gun rights, your fellow Americans won't care enough about the loss of the Second Amendment to help you. And there are not enough Hardcore Second Amendment people to fight and win the Second American Revolution on their own.
If it is true that having a well-armed population is what keeps us free today,
and the Second Amendment HAS served to prevent government overreach in our lifetimes...
... then the loss of the Second Amendment will be soon followed by the loss of other rights and liberties. That means that other citizens who have never cared a bit about guns will suddenly decide that the government is their enemy and they will want some guns. Only when they see due process of law being violated, cruel and unusual punishments being imposed, complete evisceration of the fourth amendment's right to be secure from unreasonable searches and seizures --THAT IS WHEN these fellow citizens (people who are not currently hard-core gun nuts) will want to help take back America, using whatever firearms they can get their hands on.
THAT IS WHEN you dig up your cache and help arm them.
