What are you willing to do to fight for your freedom? 

Joe Biden and Wife Sign Red Flag Bill Into Law

As an American gun owner, would you fight back if law enforcement came to confiscate your firearms? 

 What’s Your “Tipping Point”?

Says firearms Instructor, FFL and Gunsmith Gregg Kielma, I get this question asked frequently by my friends, staff, and my website family. 

Without doubt as described by one of my readers. “Joe” (real name withheld) an avid shooter and all-around good man. See “Joe’s” thoughts below.

What’s your “tipping point”? 

What are you willing to do to fight for your freedom? 

Here's what “Joe” had to say.  "Without any hesitation whatsoever”.

I have no illusions about it, that day would be the very same day I met my demise. If I could hide my weapons and do violence against the mechanisms that fostered this tyranny upon us in the first place, I would prefer that avenue, but were that choice unavailable to me, I would do as much violence as I possibly could prior to being killed. I would likely accomplish very little by my own small, likely even pitiful act of defiance, but collectively, these incidents would eventually take a toll on the nation. 

Without speaking from experience, I’d imagine killing a person for any reason isn’t usually something one can do without it having any effect on them. Killing someone for refusing to be enslaved by the state just doesn’t share the same feeling of justice that comes from, say, executing a child molester, or a terrorist, or a mass murderer. On the other hand, killing someone who was trying to enslave you by first taking away your only method of preventing yourself from being enslaved? That’s an entirely different matter. Who wouldn’t do that?

Thanks for your thoughts “Joe” I can’t say I share the same idea’s you do but we are all entitled to our “plan” should it come to confiscation. 

Now you know “Joe’s “tipping point”.
