If you don't want to be raped, you have to be willing to shoot a rapist. If you don't want your home burglarized you have to be willing to shoot an intruder. If you don't want to be assaulted in a road-rage incident, you have to be willing to shoot someone braking your car window.
If you don't want your gun taken, you have to be willing to shoot the cop who comes to take it. You have to be willing to shoot a cop. You won't shoot a cop. You know it, I know it, because we saw it in 1987 when cops came to take assault rifles and machine guns.
People won't and shouldn't shoot police if they come to take away your firearms. I dare not post about the head-of-the-snake doctrine because, candidately, in this country of politics by non-violent revolutions I don't agree with it. Unfortunately, if a majority of people vote to have the government castrate the peasants and to have the government expose we-the-people to violent assault and murder - and the courts agree the government can do so - then that is what happens.
There are ELECTED powerful people doing this. People voted for them. There are consequences of how people vote. And for not voting.
That's why I have sometimes raised the ethical question of both defending and pitying people who voted (or apathetically didn't vote) for those politicians - and those who voluntarily decide it is against their ethics to defend themselves or their loved ones. To defend or pity such people if violence comes would be to violate their ethics.
Instead, we should let happen what happens, and then congratulate them for willing to take violent assault, injury, rape, or the murder of a loved one for their anti-gun beliefs, as in "I totally disagree in that I do try to be able to defend my children, but for you to let your wife be raped and child murdered for your beliefs at least shows you have integrity in your anti-gun beliefs. I respect your right to have that belief too. That's why I only dialed 911 when I saw your home under attack by those two guys with masks kick in your door."
