It's interesting to read all the "cold dead hands" comments. I'm sure they are well intentioned; but I am equally sure they are unrealistic for the most part. An unorganized, armed citizenry might be able to fend off small groups of rioting rabble; but there is no way for such a group to stand against the resources of the big green machine should martial law be declared.
If they decide to take your guns, they will take them...it's as simple as that. If you choose to oppose them with force, they will take you, too....or worse. Perhaps, you are willing to die for your beliefs; but where does that leave your family once you are gone? For that matter, what happens to your family if you turn your home into a hostile target with your loved ones inside? Don't believe for a moment that LE or military personnel won't return fire if you initiate a fire fight with them. In their minds, they will only be doing their job. If you attempt to prevent them from doing it with force, they will respond with greater force.
God forbid that such events should ever unfold in our Country; but, if they should, don't be naive about the final outcome.
realistic thoughts. I like it. If you wanna have a shootout with the national guard and your local Pd then you are quite stupid. The minute marshal law is put in place all your guns should be hidden. Hide them well. Keep one. One you dont mind losing. When they come around to collect... "here ya go" "thats all I have". Once they leave... re-arm. Nothing to it.
