I posed this question on another forum and opened up a firestorm.
"When they pry them from my cold, dead hands" is what most gun owners say when asked about gun confiscation. My question to you is simply, what is your line in the sand? At EXACTLY what point would you draw down on a federal official? I don't believe most have the fortitude to place himself or his families health in jeopardy. Maybe if the govt. runs 30 second commercials telling you to turn in your weapons, that would give you sufficient reason to take up arms. But I don't believe that is how it will happen. I figure they are more likely to to randomly target known gun owners, show up under false pretenses, and from that point, do as they wish with said gun-owner. Just as an example, look at boston and how easy it would have been for them to confiscate guns. Once they are in your house (and have you at gun-point), it's not like you can say "you're not taking my guns....hold on why I go grab one". So what's the the other option, sit on your front porch and open fire at any LEO that dares turn down your driveway? Just curious exactly what would be the breaking point and wonder if people realize that you do not have a choice once they're inside your home. In an effort to not be too long-winded, I'll sum it up w/ my questions again.
What Is Your Line In The Sand?
Feel free to move this to the tin-foil hat section.
