Lets say our government did a crackdown on the populace, try to take away our guns, imprisoning those who voice their opininons, etc.. and was
essentially treating Americans as terrorists and everything spun out of control within the next 30 years. The war on terror turns into a war on
citizens.
Groups like the Michigan militia and guard units would take up arms and be considered guerillas battling cops and vice versa across the country. Now
my question is how many of you could pick up a weapon, lets say a shotgun, and be effective with it or merely get shot down like a dog?
I am curious to know how many on this forum actually have even shot a weapon let alone know any field tactics. If the country was divided and national
guard units fought mixed with citizens against the government would it be a slaughter? Does our government now effectively control every aspect of our
living and there is not a damn thing we can do about it if there were a breach of the constitution that divided the country?
Could you pickup a rifle and be effective or just be a casualty? Would you merely go along with whatever happens, happens? That seems to be the
attitude of everyone today, 'whatever.'
With a cheap shotgun I can nail gallon jugs at 100 yards using iron sights, if I shoot consistently, but America is now made up of desk sitting,
McDonald eating, overweight, 9 - 5, soccer mom and dads myself falling in this category at times as well. How many people actually go to a range or
have even shot a weapon for that matter? I've got a range and shoothouse on my own property and I have trained alot of people in dynamic entry and so
forth but everyone is busy with work and life and everything has to be scheduled. I know I can shoot and live in the field but how many people can
actually say that? I think the majority would just be ruled similar to communism. I don't think Americans on a whole have the balls anymore simply
because we don't raise our kids to hunt and shoot and know the field because were too damn busy with making money.
