Bury is figurative, What if the jackbooted storm troopers show up when you are not home? You really want them finding everything? And you've had no opportunity to resist.<br /><br />Or what if you are home but they are fully successful getting the drop on you and your family? Are you going to initiate the slaughter of your family with little hope of extracting much of a toll or are you going to live to fight another day and later go 4GW on their ass on your own timing and terms?<br /><br />Both choices have value. At the moment I can make one but not the other. Maybe I'm a coward. Maybe I'll think differently if it actually happens.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-83147785871733050922013-02-27T22:48:54.472-06:002013-02-27T22:48:54.472-06:00Sorry, Zorro is too close to Zero.

I refuse to bury, but I have split things up in such a manner that I can never lose everything. <br /><br />I too will keep my best in defense of my freedom and the Constitution I swore to defend. It is a blood oath gentlemen, and if we do not mean it we should never utter it. I am no hero but I know what I expect from this life, that would be the same freedoms I was born with, I will defend them vigorously and with any and all means at my disposal.Dakotahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02261415021692766579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-54322916852369314242013-02-27T20:07:34.339-06:002013-02-27T20:07:34.339-06:00xtron -

I will kill anyone engaged in confiscation. Still, I only have two hands, so I do see some merit to burying some; perhaps for myself, or posterity. The ones that get buried, will certainly not be my best. My best will be in their face as the situation dictates. Back 30 years ago, I went to college in the mid-west. Huxley's Brave New World and Hoffer's True Believer were required reading. Never did I think I'd live to see the day the government wanted me to be a Delta.<br />SWIFTnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-26083708858317481712013-02-27T14:10:11.963-06:002013-02-27T14:10:11.963-06:00The time to use the, is not at confiscation.

If confiscation stands as the winning war shot in this fight, with nothing beyond (as you wished the older gent to explain), then a fight is in order. The above poster says that CanDa stands as an example of how the populace can effectively nullify the confiscation via non-compliance.<br /><br />What will TPTB do? Not much. Keeping Liberty Teeth available for the time when armed resistance is necessary, and not just simplistically expedient, is the best course. It is the gun ownership equivalent of surviving to fight another day, a day when you can not just make a valiant stand, but actually win, and advance the cause. Armed resistance, and avoiding long range planning, are two ways of thinking tactically, yet not strategically.<br /><br />Dead men can free no one.

W...I have some sympathies for the old gentleman. <br /><br />When Canada enacted C68 (which included universal registration), the vast majority of Canadians ignored it. While it existed over 10 years, the government finally rescinded it both because compliance was very low (estimated at less than 10%) and costs were orders or magnitude over original projections.<br /><br />During that time, many Canadians split their firearms up into various caches. Often some were kept at home and may have been registered to practice with and buy ammunition for. Others were kept outside of the home (and often buried) and were NOT registered. They were kept in case registration turned into confiscation.<br /><br />Passive resistance (non compliance) was enough to cause registration to fail and the Canadian government blinked. So there was no opportunity to lead to confiscation. I'm not sure this would be the case in the USA because of the level of hubris in the government and the passion for the second amendment in the citizenry. <br /><br />But I would still advocate splitting ones firearms up into various caches as It gives you options you might not otherwise have. While one of those options is "hoping for the best", there are many others it gives you should you be more patriotic. <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-82274059103554724862013-02-27T08:49:53.762-06:002013-02-27T08:49:53.762-06:00Back in the 60s when I was taking PoliSci at North...Back in the 60s when I was taking PoliSci at Northeastern University (now a PC/communist shit hole filled with lunatics) Hoffer book was on the required reading list.
