A well-armed population is the best defense against a tyrannical state. Well-armed in both weapons and knowledge.

Advocating the overthrow of civil authority by violence is a long ways off. That being said, we should all be ready for what may happen. It is more foreseeable, IMO, to anticipate the collapse of the dollar due to excessive government debt. What will ensue, I have no idea.

The threat to liberty by all politicians will be reduced by the widespread ownership of firearms and the organization of the owners. This is why the RKBA is not a partisan issue. We are at a moment when we must ponder whether the RKBA is worth the cost. Southwell grasps that the 2nd Amendment is not about hunting.

Before any armed resistance will be viable, the government will have to enrage a significant number of people in all the states. If that does happen, will the armed forces be effective against the people or will the members of the armed forces be AWOL protecting their own home fronts?
