” We are not well regulated meaning trained, we are just a bunch of guys with guns, which will be taken out one at a time for the most part “
That’s why “counting guns” (and typing dire warnings on FR) is a false comfort — Organization (especially logistics), and to a lesser extent, training, is *the* great force multiplier...
Sure, a lot of us are veterans, and have had at some time in our lives some level of training - and some of us even have had combat experience — but, for the most part, that’s long in the past..
Most of us are older, overweight, (or at least out of ‘fighting shape’ - be honest, now...) and responsible for the well-being and safety of family members in immediate proximity - and more importantly, too many of us have become too darned independent to accept some upstart telling us what to do and when to do it - so any kind of *real* organized resistance will be difficult-to-impossible..
I’m watching for signs of any movement that could/would provide centralized command/control and logistics sufficient to field a resistance army with any chance of defeating a superbly organized, blooded and battle-hardened, national military.... (Maybe, hopefully, there is such a thing going on, so far underground that no indicators make it this close to the surface - but I pay pretty close attention, and it’s really difficult to keep a total lid on something of this magnitude... “
The other point you alluded to is that we have something to risk right now so we will comply with govt under the illusion that we get to keep our wealth. When we don't have anything to risk, then things change.
There is a lot to learn from history.....................
Great post.
I agree on two points, especially:
1. Too hard to prepare an organized resistance at this time.
2. I ain’t gonna go on no ops more more - couldn’t if I wanted to.
That having been said, Total Resistance is a great book to inspire and educate for what CAN be done, and what can be done is no small factor.
