I’ve thought about this very thing. Back during the home school debates, when people were being hauled before courts to defend their right to teach their own children as they saw fit, the courts would sometimes test their commitment to their beliefs, making the distinction as follows: A conviction is something you would die for, a preference is anything you can be talked out of.
For me, the natural right of self defense is a conviction, not a preference, and as I am a Christian man, I feel ready, by God’s mercy and grace, to depart this life if forced, by adherence to Godly principles, to do so. My only reluctance is my love for my family. I know they would be as miserable without me as I would be without them.
Therefore, I want to have it both ways. I want my family and I to continue to thrive, and I want to stop the machinery of tyranny cold. Premeditated suicide via failed Ruby Ridge heroics would accomplish neither objective. An alternative others have suggested, and it sounds good to me, is a coordinated response to gun control raids. If flash mobs can ransack 7-11s, why can such a method not be used against those who would usurp our natural, God-given right of self defense? We form a hierarchy of networks, “freedom flash mobs,” if you will, with every person committed to every other person, to show up when the call goes out, no hesitation, no delay, no excuses. We don’t want our people dying useless deaths. We want to jar the left out of its utopian delusion via a little reality therapy, the reality being that no sane person will ever voluntary hand over to tyrants their right or power to live and live free, and least of all we who have been raised in the rich soil of freedom passed on to us by our founders and forefathers. We are the posterity for whom they sacrificed so much. Let us do them proud.
It wouldn’t work, because government agents would infiltrate at every level, and have sting operations set up to nab smaller groups.
You never know who the mole is. This is why resistance won’t work.
