"A KSLA-TV news report from Louisiana has confirmed the story that Clergy
Response Teams are being trained by the federal government to "quell dissent" and pacify citizens to obey the government in the event of a declaration of martial law."

I'm not necessarily taking it the wrong way. I myself could not shoot game and I do actually know what it is to take an animal life, at least as close as you can be without doing it yourself. I was there when the deer died, I was there when the chickens died, the pigs and all the rest.

I however am not talking about the meth-heads, etc... Feeling like I'd take them on with out a weapon as well. I am talking about being armed against my government or the absolute chaos in the streets. Not so much your just random acts of violence.

I think it would depend on the situation with the government. I don't feel any removal of rights that I've seen recently has been appropriate...most notably lack of counsel at Gitmo or the whole wiretapping bit.

Mostly likely I would let them have a gun or two, but hide the rest. I don't think anyone should have to give up the right to defend themselves regardless of government propaganda

All of this is completely theoretical of course, because I don't own even a single gun. I just keep thinking I might.:)
