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.

It also doesn't mean much if you're not willing to die for it.

Do you believe that the government would actually go through the time and effort of mass confiscating firearms if they thought it might be thrown out in court? I'm pretty certain that if our nation gets to the point that the government feels at ease enough to send Federal agents door-to-door seizing firearms on a mass scale, that the time for courts will have passed. I hope I never see that day. I promise I am no combat veteran and I do not have those sorts of skills, but if I let them do that to me, then I would be living like a subject, not a citizen.

The key is not to be the first to lose your guns and hope and pray that the people rise up when it starts. United we stand...

Kinda like a pedestrian having the right of way in a crosswalk. The truck always wins.
