My bad, I'm an idiot. I forgot that it was Fred Thompson in the role. I was thinking that "Fred" was another forum member that had previously posted the quote.

A person who is not inwardly prepared for the use of violence against him is always weaker than the person committing the violence. - Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago
The quote stirred a memory of an article on this subject from the late Mike Vanderboegh---Gun Control, Civil War etc...

Great read. I have no doubt there will be a good sized segment of the population who will "kill-all-they-send" in a defensive action, there will be others who take the fight to the government in hit & run attacks, but an even larger segment of the gun owning population will lay low and evade and avoid, hiding what they have. They won't be heroes but just try to ride it out. Some in that group will join the "kill-all-they-send" group if they feel cornered.
Here in the rural American West, we have plenty of places to hide our newly created contraband weaponry, so good luck in finding it. Also, in some of these places, you had better send a well-armed team of gun confiscators otherwise you'll just disappear, becoming part of the food chain for some critter. That is the mentality in these rural areas.

Agree. I really liked the movie references in that article, it brings it home of a lot of people. The real issue we have in my opinion is how do we maintain our culture if it comes to a shooting war? (Winning of course solves the issue....Lol....)..... Love them, hate them, you have to admire the Irish in this regard- Occupied for 400 years and they have kept their culture, their religion, their language, their identity and the spirit of resistance.

What if this whole crusade's a charade?
And behind it all there's a price to be paid
For the blood which we dine

That's why I really liked the article I linked a few posts ago....I don't think the Other Side really understands The Stakes. When Puto says, "Everyone will just hand them in or the Police will visit them"...to me that shows a fundamental lack of understanding- He doesn't understand he's talking about starting the Second Civil War.....If he does, then he's not only stupid, but evil...I can do either way on that....

So instead of posting our latest builds we can just discuss our latest burial cache. Instead of what distance do you zero, what depth do you bury your stock pile. Damn, what a slippery slope.
Or we could just rehash who makes the best BCG since there has never been a decisive winner.

You won't outvote the corruption.

Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the President... - Theodore Roosevelt, Lincoln and Free Speech, Metropolitan Magazine, Volume 47, Number 6, May 1918.
Every Communist must grasp the truth. Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun. Our principle is that the Party commands the gun, and the gun must never be allowed to command the Party Mao Zedong, 6 November, 1938 - speech to the Communist Patry of China's sixth Central Committee
I won't buy a burial tube unless its marketed as "Mil spec" and features extended feed lips for smoother insertion of the weapon. The lid also has to offer a feature for staking the locking nut so it won't come loose. Additional features could include olive drab or desert sand colors, multi-cam, an NSN number stenciled on it, and wording that the tube is used by Tier 1 Operators world wide.
O.F. Mossberg & Company already jumped in some years back with their Just In Case, a waterproof tube with a Cruiser 500 inside. That tube lacked the needed features mentioned above.
