What would it take to establish an unofficial "emergency broadcast system" that would be within the average gun owner's reach and capabilities to participate in? Would there be a better place to test it than one where the only way to enforce existing law is through widespread initiation of force against the multitudes defying it? One thing we know: Creatures of darkness hate the light.

Phone trees or texting trees might be the simplest. Gun rights organization members contacting each other through PM's to set it up. Each member could text a message to a given # of specified contacts. It wouldn't take long to spread the word effectively.
I like this one, it would be just about perfect with all local unit numbers programed in. Hit the button and here comes the cavalry. Use duress words in case someone is trying to force you to call off help. This pretty much looks like the perfect app for us... assuming the fedcoats don't kill our cell service straight off.
The internet. Smartphones.
Which is exactly why gubmint wants that "emergency" kill switch.
But, the CT situation is quite literally unenforceable and they all know it. That means no prosecutor will put it in play to be challenged judicially. At best, it will be used as a throw away overcharge (traded away for giving up the rifle) much the same way Chicago has long treated pistols.
CT officials are already beaten on this front, they just refuse to admit it. The plan now is to keep it on the books, by refusing to prosecute it, in hopes opposition to it falls off enough in order to begin selective enforcement.
The central lesson of Amateur Radio is: DO NOT DEPEND ON INFRASTRUCTURE. Don't count on the phone lines. Don't count on internet. Don't count on cell towers. Don't count on having AC coming out of the wall. Have a battery operated, direct communications radio that requires no intermediaries. A ham license takes work, but Family Radio Service (FRS) radios, GMRS radios, CB, do not. Get self-sufficient with comms, and set up a network of other self-sufficient operators.
ghaaaa.... I didn't attach the URL for the app I was speaking about lol, oops.
here it is:

sorry
Mike, I have been working on a related problem, establishing radio communications networks for the Tn III% as well as extending this to III% groups in the SE U.S.. I know YOU don't do Face Book, but it is a valuable contract method. any one who want to can go to 3%ers on FB and sign up, put out the word your wanting to join the SE III% commo group will get in touch, background checks may be enforced as well as "sniff testing".
For the Republic, III%

Any ham radio people out there who want to help?
A Ham radio might be good because the time and effort to get one would slow down the FBI penetration of it. I don't think it would stop it, though. Careful thought would have to be given to verification as a system that allowed only one or two agents provactuer to set up or expose hundreds of gun owners at once would be too tempting of a target not to be abused.

Amen, you said it better than I could.
Those FRS/GMRS can also be the cheapo chinese ham comms and a relay network used instead of a repeater. Once outside of the AOR, AM pirate radio makes a comeback.
I hear enough Arabic on HF at times to kill a horse, but we need our own wind talkers.
Idea:
A box (<$200) that encodes and sends and receives and decodes pre-programmed encrypted burst transmitted messages.
Press the button at the first flashbang. Message goes out. Help is on the way.
Yes, I know that cell phones require an infracture (towers ef al) and can be easily disrupted. But I think the quickest method to spread the word would be a twitter network.

Hi Mike,
Got CB?? 'Ya can get a Cobra 29 and a Wilson "Litle wil" antenna for well under $150. I put a cigarette lighter plug on the power cable, prop up the unit where ever you want and the magnet mount on the antenna goes on the roof of your veichle. Wa-la... "Breaker one nine radio check!! "We got us a Convoy!!!"
BSBD,

While we're at it, are there any countermeasures that can be taken against the heat-ray microwave weapon (ADS) should the JBTs decide to use it against some of us? If you don't know what I'm talking about, google "active denial system" Scary, huh? For an example of its use against the hapless patriots in a fictional Tennessee rural hamlet read Matt Bracken's third novel in his "Enemies" trilogy.
Hey, if we're going to go all Windtalkers on ham radio, let's just quote the Constitution over the air.
Much like the Japanese couldn't understand Navajo, the powers-that-be sure as hell don't understand Constitution.
"The central lesson of Amateur Radio is: DO NOT DEPEND ON INFRASTRUCTURE."
That's all well and good, but it doesn't make sense to use Ham Radio if the infrastructure is still there. Very inefficient.
Can you imagine how fast government would lose legitimacy if they took the Internet down? How long did EGYPT get away with doing that? 3 or 4 days?
We can only hope the government is so stupid, as to shut the internet down.
Ham is a good backup, maybe the best, but it is still a backup. Develop your other comm tools as well, even if they do depend on the network.
@Anon at 12:05 asking about the ADS system: consider chain mail. Per Wikipedia, ADS works on 95 GHz, or a 3.5mm wavelength. Chain mail hole sizes (space between links, not the link diameter) under 3.5mm should provide adequate shielding, and has a better look than tin foil... Also, just for the record, back in the day there was a concept called Solar Power Satellites that entailed collecting solar energy in space and sending the power to Earth on a microwave link. Arrays of rectifiers on the ground would convert the microwaves to DC. Similar portable or fixed arrays tuned to 95 GHz could sink a possibly-significant fraction of the incoming energy, and could be used from shorted to ground to charging your railgun.... Obviously, more engineering work would have to be done here, just sayin'...
Meshnet? Stand alone capability plus internet connectivity plus data, like pictures.
If we're talking comms for CT, and not a nationwide conflagration, we aren't talking the internet getting shut down.
With that in mind, Mike linked to the following article a few weeks ago, and I have been using the app since the day I read it. It works, it's range is literally GLOBAL, and it's free. The versatility is immense, and if a larger network than about 700 connections is needed, there are paid usage programs that allow for connections in the thousands. Please consider it, and if anyone wants to run some experiments to figure out the best uses for it, I would love to be involved. Here's the link and a paragraph or so from it:

“Entrepreneur Bill Moore was in his Austin, Texas, office last Thursday, watching explosive growth for his company’s walkie-talkie app, Zello, inside Venezuela. Zello had become the favorite app of protest organizers there after recently hitting the mark as the most popular app in Ukraine. Over the past few days in Venezuela, the protests ballooned following rapidly rising food prices, controversy over President Nicolas Maduro’s economic policies, public dissatisfaction over crime and multiple other factors.”
Just a heads up if you are going to use duress words don't have the code to call people off to be "Obama likes getting f*(ked by horses", as they will think you know state secretes.
