Hide like a good little chicken.
No thanks. We need to grow some spine, not give up the last of it.

Clearly, some of us are more firm in our convictions than others, some would dearly love to still believe that *it can't happen here* and will wait until the most egregious examples finally prove that it has, and some have much more to lose than others.
No problem, that just means that some will serve as *canaries in the mine* for others who come later to the party, and whose reinforcement will be desperately needed. See the late Colonel Cooper's thoughts on such matters in his story Survivor, telling of one Gerhard Tauchnit's escape from a post-WWII Soviet concentration, in Cooper's anthology To Ride, Shoot Straight, and Speak the Truth."

I never suggested hiding, of course, only reacting intelligently to changes that occur in society, should they come about. This thread is about, among other things, stealth. If we're faced with a revocation of the Second Amendment and confiscations begin, I don't think that it's being 'spineless' or "hiding like a chicken" to take steps that insure the survival of yourself and your family and insuring the retention of your firearms....and it's certainly not 'giving it all up' if it comes to the point where it's all been lost already.
I'll never give an inch to the gun grabbers, but that doesn't mean I'm going to pretend nothing has changed, should change occur.
If things get to the point where people are turning each other in to the Gun Confiscation Police, I don't see how it will help anyone or accelerate the return to Constitutional Law if you're in jail and your property's been seized for "firearms violations".
