Who says you have to hide them to keep them? If it comes to the point of forced confiscation, then it's time for the guns to come out into the open.
But you won't throw away your life to fight the .gov. Few people would. They already won.
There is a point where you have to draw a line in the sand and say no more, or admit your too much of a coward to fight for your rights and give them up. Should we ever reach that point, we will know who deserves those rights, and who deserves the government they have. I don't like that "we've already lost" attitude, because we damn sure haven't. It's already been proven that people are willing to fight.
I value my rights and the rights of my countrymen above my life. I would hope enough of you cared enough about your rights to do the same. You all damn sure bitch about your rights being trampled on enough. Either you care about them, or you don't. If your not prepared to fight for your rights should the government become truly tyrannical, then you don't deserve them.
If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace. We seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you; and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen. - Samuel Adams
OK, good luck shooting it out with a SWAT team.
Easy to talk tough on an internet forum. The reality is that the vast majority of gun owners are law abiding. And most would cave under the actions in the OP.
Heh.
Thought it somewhat fitting.
So shoot it out or become a serf. At some point risking your life is better than the alternative.
The other side of that coin is the vast majority of gun owners believe in liberty and freedom.
Not risking your life. Simply choosing to die.
I would rather be dead than have to live life as a drone
