If They Come for Your Guns, Do You Have a Responsibility to Fight?

[Jrlobo]

What a waste of tin foil. Save it for cooking on open fires and baking biscuits. You know, for when you really are going to need it. Tom finally said something that really makes sense: if you must fight the feds, do it with friends and die in a place that we can use as a rallying cry: Sacramento Seven or Harrisburg Horror or Memphis Masacree! Go ahead and have naming contest. Tom has the guts to say what is on his mind. 

But I do remember a quote to wit: "No bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country."
George S. Patton

Well here's a thought, if you have to die for the cause don't do it alone on your doorstep.
Do it among friends at some insignificant cross road, like Lexington Mass, or Gettysburg Pa.
Some place no one ever heard of before but will damned well never forget.

My affairs are in order.  There are a few more that are like minded nearby.  Just being together at the right place and time is the only problem.

 If the day ever comes when the government sends thugs to collect guns something that is not mentioned is they may get visits in return and there are more of us then there are of them!

Now here is a thought. 

If government enforcers are going to your house to threaten or kill you at gun point, is it a terrorist act to to visit their home, also a non-military target, to retaliate or fight for to end the threat?

Solus,

      I believe that is the anathema of civil war. There is nothing civil about it. It is brother against brother and sisters are not exempt. If your family becomes fair game then so does theirs! Perhaps this is why there is a voice in the back of my head that says it must be avoided if possible. If not avoidable, I remember the words of the Ayatollah Kogani:

"If you are going to pre-empt,
Do it first."

Why does that give me a feeling of deja vu again ?
