Yes.

You fight back against a tyrannical government by shooting at their agents. The feds.


No fighting an armed conflict against a tyrannical gov't would include the military. You think the MIB are coming to control the US?

I don't want to get into the realm of hypotheticals but: at the present, the likelihood of the government mobilizing the military on Americans is low. However, the situation might change soon. I believe the government is actively recruiting minorities, especially illegals (who are mostly Mexicans or other South Americans), into the armed forces. This is so that they will have military personnel who feel no qualms about opening fire on Americans.

There is no scenario where I would be willing to give up my guns.

better dead than red

“War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things: the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth a war, is much worse. When a people are used as mere human instruments for firing cannon or thrusting bayonets, in the service and for the selfish purposes of a master, such war degrades a people. A war to protect other human beings against tyrannical injustice; a war to give victory to their own ideas of right and good, and which is their own war, carried on for an honest purpose by their free choice, — is often the means of their regeneration. A man who has nothing which he is willing to fight for, nothing which he cares more about than he does about his personal safety, is a miserable creature who has no chance of being free, unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself. As long as justice and injustice have not terminated their ever-renewing fight for ascendancy in the affairs of mankind, human beings must be willing, when need is, to do battle for the one against the other.”

― John Stuart Mill

Red Flag laws are dangerous.
Example: You have an argument with a spouce or partner and they call the cops. Telling them that you own firearms and are saying strange things. Now the police after contacting a judge, show up and either have a knock or no knock warrant to seize your firearms. . . You fill in the rest.

Banning specific parts of a firearm is a slippery slope.
Once they are able to start banning specific parts they can then begin to deem other parts be banned or require registration. A hand grip, a trigger, etc

3% of Americans own 50% of the guns. Also only 30% of Americans own a gun.



More than 50% of Americans are males, including myself so that’s more than half.
