While plowing tru Boston's Gun Bible I found this... every once in awile yah run into something that makes yah stop and think. The subject is manditory weapons confiscation, and the reaction of at least this guy has to the senario of forced compliance to repeal or further erosion of the second ammendment.
Dear Peace Officer:
I do not want to kill you. I do not even want to wound you. I admire your courage and the commitment you have made to help others, often at risk of own your life when you act as a Peace Officer. I hope you will not forget what it means to be a Peace Officer and come for me, because if you do, one of us will die. It may be you. I have done nothing wrong. I do not intend to. However, the government that you serve has passed too many "laws" that are, as Marbury v Madison (5 US 137) are "repugnant to the Constitution" and are therefore "null and void of law". I am sure to accidentally break one of these "repugnant laws," some day. The end result is that same government is systematically destroying the Unalienable Rights which our Constitution says shall not be infringed&endash;very specifically, my Right to Keep and Bear Arms.
I am not some wacko lunatic, however I can no longer stand idly by while an out-of-control government hell-bent on "democracy systematically enslaves decent people" which is socialism with a "human" face. I cannot allow the current corrupt-judiciary to use its power to destroy my Unalienable Rights and my country. That government and that judiciary has begun to use you to arrest and kill people just like me&endash;people who believe that the Declaration of Independence, Constitution, and Bill of Rights mean what they say.
You do not know me, but you see me every day. I may be a businessman, a truck driver, or an executive. I could be a housewife or a salesman. However I am Free, therefore I am armed, as Free-Americans have been since the Mayflower Compact. Know this: I am determined to keep the freedoms that only an armed people may retain. With my rifle, I can hit a man-sized target at 800 yards on a bad day. At shorter distances, in the blink of an eye, I can hit a head-size target with a handgun. You do not even want to think about what I can do with my shotgun. I do not wear a uniform. I do not drive a marked car. I do not wear camouflage. I could be your own secretary, or your barber. I might be the guy who delivers your bottled water, or the parcel delivery lady. You do not know who I am, or what arms I have, and you never will. I am millions. I am America. I am Free.
However, I know you. I know your uniform, your car, and your work schedule. I know where you work, and where you live. This is good for you, because not only am I no threat to you, so long as you act as a Peace Officer, for I am also prepared to assist you when you are threatened. You may think that there are not many of me left, but believe me, there are many, many more than you can imagine. When the chips are down, we are the ones who are truly on your side. On your side, that is, so long as you honor your Oath and continue to be a Peace Officer.
We are on your side if you are one of the majority of peace officers who are not corrupt and who have not sold out to the fascists, socialists and communists who will do anything, say anything to destroy the Free America our fathers, grandfathers, and Founding Fathers bequeathed us. No, I am no threat to you, but your bosses in government do not see it that way and will try to tell you otherwise.
They think that I, and my arms, are a threat to them, and they are planning to send you for me, just as they've sent armed, dangerous officers on select little missions for years, taking out targeted individuals. On their orders, you may succeed in murdering me for my beliefs. On the other hand, you may not.
Whether or not you succeed in murdering me, as federal agents murdered Vicki Weaver and her son in Idaho; or as those same federal agents murdered 81 men, women and children at Waco, Texas; there will be others who will rise up in my memory, as I now rise up in honor of the innocent lives taken by the jack-booted thugs and black-clad imitation ninjas who think it is fun to murder Americans&endash;who have somehow become convinced that it is their job to murder Free-Americans.
I am prepared to die, honoring my sacred Oath as an American I utter every time I take the Pledge of Allegiance, that is, to defend and protect the Constitution of the united States of America and the Republic for which it stands. Are you prepared to die to violate the Oath you took? You see, our government is out of control. You know it if you have not been thoroughly brainwashed. You have seen it if you are not blind. It is likely that you, like many others, have been too concerned with your job, your family, and your pension, to say or do anything about it. Deep down, you know I am right. However, you think you must follow orders. Please remember the many who claimed they were only "following orders" at the Nuremberg Trials and what happened to them when Justice finally raised Her Sword and exacted punishment for their lack of thinking.
So, must you simply "follow orders?" Are you going to murder me for having the courage to stand up for the country and the principles in which you believe? Are you going to go along with unconscionably illegal, unconstitutional orders, just as those "good" German soldiers followed their orders? Are you going to be a Peace Officer or a jack-booted thug? There is little difference between a street outlaw who murders and robs; and a thug in uniform that murders and robs under color of law. The result is the same -- property confiscated, lives ruined, families ripped apart, murder committed, and a free nation destroyed.
Look at history. Look around the world. As we move toward Socialism, our country moves closer and closer to losing the Constitution forever. Are you going to enforce unconstitutional "laws?" Are you going to be part of the private army of socialist dictators masquerading as "democratic representatives?" Alternatively, are you going to do your part to recapture America? Are you going to keep your eyes and ears open? Will you let me know when the jack-booted thugs in the SWAT teams have targeted me? Will you let your fellow officers know that their corrupt masters are selling them down the river? Do not come to kill me, because I do not want to kill you. If you do come, you may succeed&endash;if you get lucky. However, do not count on luck, because it will probably be hard--damned hard. Like millions of other Americans, I am the son or daughter of a nation of riflemen--citizen-soldiers who have a rich heritage of beating the best the enemy can send against us. We are resourceful. We understand weapons and tactics. You are foolish if you intend to be our enemy. If you do not succeed in the end, and you will not, here is what you can expect:
Ambushes of SWAT teams; the wholesale slaughter of all the jack-booted thugs who have murdered innocent Americans on the orders of their socialist masters; targeted assassinations and kidnappings of anti-Constitution judges; assassinations of anti-American, anti-gun politicians; demolition of your jails, precinct houses and other gathering places giving you and your compatriots no rest or respite.
By your willingness to be a good little Nazi, you will have unleashed a civil war. It does not have to be that way. You can do something about it. It is easy. Read the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights. Although you took an Oath to defend them, you do not see much of them in your training, do you? Today, these documents are considered dangerous by the government, just as King George found them dangerous over 200 years ago. Why do you suppose your leaders lead you to oppose the very rights you swore to protect? Why do they want a disarmed public? You know the reason. It has nothing to do with controlling crime. It has everything to do with using you to disarm, fine and control your fellow American Citizens.
Do not fall for it. Do not force me to defend myself, because you may not survive.
Unsigned.

Assuming that only 1% of american gun owners refuse and fight, that would mean 2,400,000 weapons in the hands of 750,000 partisans fighting a guerilla war right here on their own territory. I'm still thinkin about this one.. and thinking about how much damage just 10,000 or less dedicated insurgents in Iraq are doing to our 'national will' to continue the conflict over there...
Interesting.
