| Anonymous Coward User ID: 16041829 United States07/21/2012 11:08 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | "Hide Your Guns" Duh. The only things you can possibly hide are weapons purchased through a private unregistered sale or ones purchased before the NICS system went into effect. Otherwise they know exactly what you have and expect you to produce them. Also remember that they don't really need to take actual possession of the physical guns. A bullet to your head accomplishes the same thing - denies you the use of the firearms. So expect the government to use this more time-efficient method. Now, does that change your choices at all? |

So here's my question, what's the moral thing to do under that scenario. Quoting: samanthasunflower Mods - Please delete if you feel this goes over the line. Option one, be the good little citizen and give the government what it asks for. ( Today it may be our guns, and if they ask for our food, gold, first born children, or to give us a tattoo on our hands or forehead, then we do what we are told.) Option Two - Hide the guns so that they can be protected and used later. Option three - Protect our liberties and prevent the holocaust that will follow any gun grab by fighting back. What is the moral thing to do in your opinion??? I'm not asking for anything to join me in a fight or anything, just pondering good verses evil and repercussion of our actions in possible future events. What the hell are you? A Data Myner?

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 20230481 If only a handful of people respond this way, the gun grab will be quickly halted, and MILLIONS of lives will be saved. I think this will be a more common response than just a few... at least in my part of the country. And i think THEY know it. I don't see it happening that way at least in the beginning. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 20230481 If only a handful of people respond this way, the gun grab will be quickly halted, and MILLIONS of lives will be saved. The book that this quote comes from (Gulag Archipelago) should be REQUIRED reading, at every high school in AmeriKa. “And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.” Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn |

Quoting: Aunty Flo That's how much Big Brother has control over us. The NSA has already mined all forum posts, all emails and all phone calls. They've listened in to all conversations within range of your cell phone, which transmits even if it is not on an active call. They know what you've purchased by credit card: ammunition, books, long-store food, etc. They know the TV shows you watch. They've no doubt already peeked in your snail mail. Trust me - they already know who the patriots are in the country and who will resist. So what's the purpose of a poll like this? Reassuring the patriots that: YOU ARE NOT ALONE |
