Look folks,
As much as we may not like it; as much as we believe it's wrong; the fact is that safety forces and government are given a lot of leeway and extraordinary powers in a state of declared emergency. To engage those forces in a gun battle is going to end only one way--with you dead or imprisoned for a long, long time. Now, if your principles are worth that to you, and if you can live will possibly killing some schmuck that was doing his job, fine for you. Keep in mind, that those folks that did turn over their weapons are alive and well today, and will either get their weapons back eventually, or are free to acquire more.
Giving up my guns might have left me exposed to the *chance* of criminal victimization, but resisting would have guaranteed me being a victim of the state and made a criminal.
