Another Molon Labe question

[Intune]

Taxation @ 50%, various firearms outlawed, borders being overrun, tracking chips implanted in vehicles (humans? Do it for the children.) Citizens being held without being charged with a crime, means to protect self and property denied and on & on...

None of us would put up with a government that went this far, we would draw the line! Oops! Ok, cross THIS line... No THIS one....

 

[Gus Dddysgrl]

I wouldn't be waiting at the door. Dad and I would prolly have rounded up a local milita to fight back by the time they got there anyway.

But I doubt it will ever get to that.

Most guerilla wars start out with a few lightly armed men waging war against superior and well equipped forces - e.g., War for American Independance, Cuba, Vietnam.

Also, in WWII, didn't we drop thousands of .45 Liberator pistols over France and SE Asia? That was a gun to get a gun.

But, we citizens should never allow our government to get to the point where we need to take up arms against it. We should always vote. Write letters to the editors of newspapers/magazines. And use the new found power of the Internet to ever keep our freedoms from being infringed.

What guns?

If you're really expecting a majority of people on this board to proclaim that they would shoot LEO you're nuts.

I respect the LEO of this great country, I support the 2nd Amendment. Nuff said.

 

[Moparmike]

Would I join a group fighting against tyranny and oppression if I thought they were rational? Yes.

If I thought they were a bunch of nuts with overactive imaginations (ie fighting because of a raise of parking meter fines from $1 to $2), NO.

 

[Standing Wolf]

I repeat, I will harbour the Jews and shoot the Nazis in ANY of their iterations.

Well said. I'll help you.

 

[winstonsmith]

Yes.

Yes, they are Americans too, and they are just folowing orders. But that stopped being an excuse 50 some odd years ago.

They are Americans too, they should know better.

 

[MagKnightX]

This is a very wordy thread, so I'll just say my piece and go.

Do I imagine that we would have to, in the course of any of our lifetimes, take arms against the Government of the United States? No, I do not. I don't think any of us will let our legislators take more rights. This is why we have regular elections.

Do I imagine that if we had to, the majority of military and law enforcement personnel would fight against us? No, I don't imagine that, either. All military and most LE have sworn to uphold the Constitution, second amendment included. Many are pro-gun.

Do I believe that what military and LE that would be against us would wage full war, with bombing and gunships and such? No, I don't believe that would happen. It would cause too many non-combatant casualties, and too much property damage. It would bring too many against them.

Would I go around actively attacking soldiers and police? No, I would not.

Would I defend my property and my rights if I were attacked? Yes, I most certainly would. If they open fire, I open fire. I may die, but I will not be the aggressor, nor would I ever want to be. That's it, plain and simple.

VERY well said.

 

[revlar]

I'll take my cosmoline, my sections of plastic pipe and my shovel and head for the woods behind my house. Then I cut the door off of the gun safe, report the burglary and theft, and await the "inevitable" knock at the door. I obediently surrender my only remaining weapons (hidden under the mattress when I was burglarized) - a single-shot H&R 20 gauge and potmetal RG .38 revolver (knew it would come in handy for something).

THEN I wait for the dust to settle and see how the battle lines form.

 

[FTG-05]

I wouldn't wait for the knock on the door. Since this scenario would be politically motivated, I would join 50 or so other armed Americans and reduce the number of anti-gun politicians accordingly. Think what America would be like with 50 or so less anti-gun politicians.

Food for thought.

MOLON LABE! That means that most of you are willing to fight for your RKBA, therefore most of you are willing to die for it too, rigth?

ABSOLUTLY!!! If the Constitution of The United States isn't worth dying for than i have absolutley no idea what is.

 

[tyme]

The Constitution is just a document, meant to offer a means of dead reckoning if congressional or american opinion travel too far astray. But a document cannot enforce itself. And varying meanings of words and opinions may therefore render parts of the Constitution inapplicable. What is to be done if public opinion shifts against some right or liberty? Will rebellion accomplish anything? A substantial minority of the population tried revolt during the civil war and failed. A guerrilla war will not change policy.

The world is thoroughly populated. There is no means of escape and self rule for those who don't agree with any existing government. The only hope for this is to support any social or political policy that will aid science and lead to a more rapid onset of the age of space exploration.
