Please, I don't mean to sound like DOOM & GLOOM. I simply want to ask a serious question which has been occupying my mind ever since I got into guns.
We all have SHTF scenarios. I have a KAHR MK9 *on* my night stand, H&K P2000 *in* my night stand, and AK-47 + 2x30round mags under my bed. I'm sure I'm ready to take on any gurglar/rapist/murderer who dares to breake in AS FAR AS FIRE POWER is concerned. That's fine. We all have out preference and I respect that.
BUT. We THR-ders very often discuss the posibility of total gun ban and confiscation here in the USA. We also very often state "from my dead cold fingers". But have we really thought about it? What would YOU do if it came to that? Would you fire at the government agents knocking on your doors? Would you bury your best guns for later, once enough people decided to overthrow the ultra-liberal government?
I've been thinking about this a lot lately. I pray I would have the courage to pull the trigger to defend my God given rights. Even if it ment my doom. But I also think that, as nobel as it may be, it might not be the best course of action. So, in my oppinion, the BEST thing we can do, is get as many people together as we can. It's easy to knock down then doors and take out one or two people. It's not as easy to take out a group of thousands. At least it doesn't appear as politically correct. It's easy to label one guy a *terrorist* or *the enemy of the great socialist state* (yea, I heard that a lot in Poland in the 80's). It's difficult to justify a slaughter of thousands (not that is stopped governments in the pasy anyways, but still, maybe I'm naive).
So here's my final question and thought...
DO WE, GUN OWNERS HAVE A GLOBAL PLAN TO DEFEND OUR GOD GIVEN RIGHTS??? How about an agreed upon location to get together if SHTF from the government? Can we come up with a plan, to which millions of us gun owners would agree, that if SHTF we sould get together in specified locations and fight together, rather than being assasinated one by one in the middle of the night by secret police?
I'm asking those questions, because I would feel much more comfortable knowing that other people are willing to go as far as I am or further to defend our rights. I would like to have the comfort of knowing that there are millions of us, who would stand by each other and fight.
I don't know what got me into asking this online. I guess I feel it's an important question that we all need to answer, if we are really serious about that we believe in.
