When they come to get your guns
Tuesday, October 21st, 2008Here’s a hypothetical question:
What will you do, personally, if Government agents come to your door and ask you to give them your guns?
If you don’t want to go public with your answer by commenting on this blog, please send me an email to dave at backwoodshome dot com.
I’m writing a column on this subject for the next issue of Backwoods Home Magazine, and I’d like some input from others. I’ve already asked some neighbors and friends.
If you don’t feel comfortable sending me a comment, please think about what your actions would be. Let’s assume the visit from the Government agents will not be a surprise, as it will have been well advertised in the media, after Congress passes sweeping federal gun control legislation.
A word of caution: Consider your answer without bravado. Remember the story of Bradford Metcalf who went to prison for 40 years for possessing illegal guns and talking about resisting Big Government. It’s serious business when you resist Government and guns are involved, so consider what you would “actually” do, not what you’d like to do.
