It is a question of a government that you believe, for moral and ethical reasons, has become a tyranny and is worth the risk of your life to oppose in any way possible.Both questions have been under discussion. There is the subject of a law mandating confiscation of specific types of firearms, and there is the more general topic of a tyrannical government. I was addressing a question by montana that seemed to cover both issues: "So I will ask you Stan, where would you draw the line to resist if you were able? When they confiscate our AR-15 type rifles, handguns, shot guns, homes, families, never?"

And what I'm saying is that, were the government system to become that bad, folks would need weapons a helluva lot more potent than the AR15.
LR1955 Wrote:I am not real worried about our military forces attacking US citizens in order to prop up a tyrannical government. Not how they are trained and not what they believe.Completely agree. However, in discussing the hypothetical of a "government gone bad," it seems logically necessary to assume military support of the government.
