Along with the chest pounding and bravado, folks are assuming that their "fight to the end" will be a glorious one and they will be immortalized to their family and the world. Truth is, odds are almost non-existent that total gun confiscation will ever happen, and if it does, our country will have no resemblance to what it is now. Long before you die with your "cold dead hands" wrapped around your last firearm in resistance to our present government, you will probably be killed over food, water, a way to heat your home, or another individual wanting your weapons. Long before a "tyranny" is imposed, there will be mass chaos and our way of life in America as we know it now will be a distant memory. If this does happen, you really think those after your weapons will respect your family and allow them to live if you resist? You really think they will call you out of your house instead of burning it to the ground with you and your family in it? You really think you will know they are even coming? You really think they will hesitate put a bullet thru your grandaughters brain if you don't come out with your hands up and guns exposed? Odds are tho, she already would have been killed just because you resisted, or the other members of your family would have given up your guns to save themselves from the same fate. You really think your family would respect your stand on keeping your guns while they watch their loved ones being butchered in front of them? Folks need to get real. Nobody here is Clint Eastwood in "Gran Torino". Claiming you will stand and fight with honor without considering how things would really go down is just a pipe dream.
As Sam said, the real fight we can win is right now. We still live in a country where people in charge are there because we voted them into that position or they were chosen by others we voted in. Most of those same folks like their job well enough that they will continue to do as the majority of their constituents want. If we fall outta that majority and the rules change, we will not be Martyrs in the war for our God given rights....we will just be criminals.
