Many including myself have worn the uniform during times of conflict.

Wearing the uniform is not an automatic qualifier to be able to stand up to tyranny nor is not wearing it a disqualifier.

You might consider a lot of the written word of patriots on this forum as sabre rattling. To an extent some of it is. You are nnot aware of discussions in the background among members whom you consider sabre rattlers. Many of us share much more in common than what we post here.

I am not going to jeapordize the safety of my wife and children by choosing poorly the time that I stand my ground. If forced to do so by the tyrant du jour and if given the opportunity to defend myself against a tyrannical regime I will do so. I will also defend any brother or sister if need be.

We have our own defined limits. You have yours. Take comfort in your decision and be prepared when your time comes. Rest assured there will be events that will cause you to fine tune your decision.

The right question is:

What will do you when they come for your Neighbor's Guns ?

If the answer is nothing then it does not matter what you will do when they come for your guns.

This article is also very relevant to this discussion (and highly worth reading):

And so it is today. Washington is an unfettered beast. The system will NOT fix itself; the mechanisms to do that were lost a long time ago

Standing up against a beast like Washington DC is scary, to be sure. Understandably, not many people want to do such a thing. But if the beast is abusing you, what other choice do you have? You can certainly avoid or evade the beast, but we all know that the beast hurts people it catches avoiding it, so the risk of doing this isn’t zero either.

So, what’s a person to do? They hate their abuse, but outright disobedience would be scary. Unfortunately, many people have come up with a third option: Get someone else to do it for you.

Lots of writers have done this, for example: Write flamboyantly about the abuses people face and stir them to “rise up against the power.” Fairly seldom does the writer take big risks himself – he just stirs up others to do the scary stuff.

No one is going to ride in and save you.

If you want things to get better, then YOU will have to make them better. YOU will have to stand up and take the arrows, yourself. Liberty, at this stage of human development, requires risk and pain.

Beat you to it in a previous post. Great minds think a like.

Everyone here needs to also understand that when they come and knock for your firearms, they will take everything you own including your food and water supplies and anything else of value.

I still have all of my legally purchased, legally owned firearms and ammunition. I do not care who knows it. The current administration is just like any other tyrant. They will send someone else to do their confiscating for them. They will send someone's mother, father, son, daughter, sister, brother. They do not have the guts to do it themselves.

Bring it, tyrants.

The cops or the feds are going to be better staffed, armed, and equipped than you are. Better to let them take your guns (those they can find, anyway) and fight the battle in the courts. It'll give Mr. Cotton something to do. The right to keep and bear arms doesn't mean much if you're not alive to exercise it.

Obviously people's line in the sand is different.
