Recently, police have been involved in what looks like murder in the course of home invasion and murder with intimidation of witnesses and press. At this rate, I expect the distinction between the ordinary Ordnungspolizei and Einsatzgruppen to become insignificant.
As the experience with Minneapolis home invaders indicates, birdshot is not sufficient against armored opponents. At least two good hits were scored by the defender with minimal effect. The perpetrators were decorated by the police department even though they wrongdoing and settled the case at the cost to the taxpayers of over $600K. At least in this case the victims were not injured.
Jose Guerena’s example suggests also that holding fire is the wrong thing to do if attacked by either freelance or government thugs. A lawful person who has no cause to expect a police raid is more likely to face regular criminals impersonating police than uniformed criminals representing themselves. In any case, return fire at least spoils the aim of the invaders. Just kneeling before the intruders while they take aim or kill your pets is not the way to go.
Just as a secondary to this part of your post, in case it wasn't clear in my response; I would die for this country. I already pull a very heavy wagon in my community for this country and for the 2A, and I will continue to do so with little more than a grunt when it gets tough. I was raised to grin and bear it, and I'll continue to do so. My lament is that there aren't enough youth among my community who are willing to do the same, and while I enjoy a good book and some orange pekoe, I'd gladly lay down both and my life in service for the greatness of this country and the exceptionalism that America has always stood for.
We're heading into dark times, FRiend. Don't mistake my posts for sloth. I may not be a fighting man by training, but I'll protect my God, my family, and my country with every last fiber of my being.
Right here you go. You want a set of 5-chime [K5LA or M5] Nathans, which'll run you about a grand.
Yeah, they're on the largish size, after all, they're made for locomotives, not trucks. But they beat the heck out of those wimpy fire truck air horns.
Oh, you mean like one of the steel tee fencepost rams, with a 3/32 hole drilled in it for electrical lines or a cannon fuze touchhole?
They're about $20 at our local farm supply store, and with welded-on rails for handles very suitable for an added elevation adjustment mechanism.
yes - maybe a little shorter so as to get a better spread of the "heavy shot" - but essentially yes.
"...when the Clintoon AWB went into effect with little more than a whimper from gun owners."
Breaking news...yes you are. You weren't there; by your own admission you were 14 years old at the time. By your own admission, all you know about the AWB bill process came second hand, and it wasn't until seven years later you felt the effect of it. You're talking out your a**, and those of us who fought the good fight in '94...on the phone, in letters, through petitions, through the money we donated to 2nd Amendment groups and spent joining them, then at the polls in November...don't appreciate your accusations that we let the law pass "with little more than a whimper". You weren't there. We were. Stop talking out your a**.
"I only admitted to being a go-along-to-get-along type of person. I don’t own a TV and haven’t paid for cable since I bought my own home 5 years ago."
So? I don't care what kind of TV you have or don't have. You're an admitted go-along-to-get-along guy, who made an accusation based on secondhand information, that I and millions of other RKBA advocates sat around sniffing back tears over our chamomile tea while the AWB delivered a body blow to our rights. Had you not made this ignorant and infuriating accusation, my responses to you wouldn't be "acrimonious". I probably wouldn't have responded to you at all. But you did...you talked out your a**, and by doing so, you pi**ed me off. So until you man up and admit to being wrong about your baseless accusation, I have absolutely zero time for you.
Oh yeah, and a little thanks for saving what's left of your RKBA over the years would be nice, too. Not to me, but to all of us who fought the good fight while you fought pimples in junior high school.

Bravo WKU. You keep fighting that good fight. Keep wasting your energy on the people who are on your side.
I never understood the likes of people like you; type-A personality folks who want to fight for the sake of fighting.
I’m not in the business of lambasting friends, so I’ll leave this conversation where it is.
Good day, sir.
