Unfortunately a few years ago, we had a break in, all of my guns, several thousand rounds and my reloading equipment were stolen, I have a police report and everything. I have since then acquired two legally purchased handguns, they are stored safely in a lock box in the basement. If the deputy and it would be the deputy, not the FBI or BAT, showed up to get my registered weapons, I would hand them over to him. We would discuss how our kids were doing in school and shoot the breeze for a little while then he would leave and dutifully report that both of us had fulfilled the law.
If I got into a gunfight over my registered weapon, it would be a neighbor, a friend, and a father of kids I like that I would be shooting at. At the same time I would be risking the life of my wife and kids.
If I did decide to kill the deputy to keep from turning over my registered hand guns, when would you recommend I do so? Should I wait until he shows up in uniform with his own weapon, or should I snipe him while he’s mowing the grass? That may sound glib, but I’m a realist, he’s the person that I would have to deal with. A real life person, with a name, a family, somebody I know and a neighbor.
I have put my body in harms way fighting for our freedom and I would do so again but I really don’t think talking about stacking bodies up like cord wood helps our cause. I know your pissed at me but I’ve said my piece.
Deputy can be notified anonymously the consequences of any un-Consitutional action indirectly or through one of his family members.
If local confiscations begin anyway, why snipe? You know deputy, so his guard will be down at the moment of impact.
“If the deputy and it would be the deputy, not the FBI or BAT, showed up to get my registered weapons, I would hand them over to him.”
A lot of people who thought like you went for a train ride too,,,in the late 30s early 40s. There is no obligation to obey a law to turn in guns. In fact, a strong moral case can be made that it’s your responsibility to our children to resist such a law.
“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin’s thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn’t love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”
— Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Simply put: If a law enforcement officer comes and knowingly takes your weapons as part of a confiscation, he is an enemy, no matter his own family situation. Treat him like an enemy as soon and as much as you can. The Jews didn’t treat anyone like an enemy in WWII until it was too late. They got slaughtered. If anyone is taking guns away you had best remember the Jews. If you don’t want to, that’s fine. We need to thin the herd anyway.
