Heheh... yeah that's what so many of these people don't get. Those of us with guns, we don't go out protesting and interfacing with these people regularly.
It's not just my guns. I spent a huge chunk of my life thinking of martial arts (training in quite a few but not particularly skilled at any). I can find weapons almost anywhere. Many things look like weapons to me. I also don't punch people in the face, stomach, etc. I punch people in places you shouldn't punch people unless you want to put them into a hospital or a morgue.
The first rule of my training from the best instructors was to not put yourself into a situation where you need to use the training.
Which I don't. Yet if they truly push the people like me and try to take our rights away and they come for people like me (and you) the hospitals and graveyards will overflow.
On one hand, I hate saying things like that. I really just want to be left alone.
On the other, (as we talked about yest'day), there has to be pushback to the ideas the do-gooders and the corruptocrats put forth in public...many of these people honestly believe that their tyranny is justice
If it ever comes to that... I'm not marching in any stupid lines or such... no more civil war, revolutionary war linear combat being honorable, etc. If I am at that point I care about survival, lining up and grouping up so we're easy to target is just a stupid mans game where they let other jerks move them around like little lead army men.
And yeah... I believe in the NAP, so it is something I resort to in defense of my family, friends, etc.
As long as we are not threatened it would be really hard to convince me to go against the NAP as I believe very strongly in it.
I really do need to study the NAP; it has been brought up so often, and I haven't really looked at it...
Is this summary correct?
Basically that can work.
NAP = Non-Aggression Principle. Keyword Aggression. Completely willing to defend ourselves AND our property and if they are like me and pushed to that point I'll do my damnedest to end it as quickly and directly as possible.
If someone directed them to come at me I'd consider that person fair game too. Leave me and my family alone and you're totally safe.
the person that made the decsion to target you; yes, that is morally sound
His character in the Patriot basically followed the NAP. They came for his family and killed one of his kids and basically all hell broke loose.
