All I can say is arm up and be ready to fight if you like freedom,
I was watching militia videos and a guy said something that made sense. He said when the shit hits the fan, your job as a man isn't to stay home and wait with your family, but to be prepared to leave your family behind, and fight in the first place the shit hits the fan. It didn't seem to appeal to me, but if the shit were to hit the fan in my zone first, I would wish for that to happen, so it makes sense.
Further making sense, is that the government doesn't have the resources to take everyones neighborhood, and they would never try. They'll do one area at a time. My national guard friend was here the other day and I asked him if he would participate in some bullshit, and he said "fuck no, and from what the guys who did it in New Orleans have said, they'd never do it again". I told him if he ever came to my door I'd forget he has a family. ;D
