great gun video: Militia killing the "BORG" myth with numbers

…but this too can be a double-edged sword. Some food for thought:

Not everyone (in fact probably the majority) of people who bought and/or own firearms, to include the recent influx of purchases, is really looking forward to some grand vision of a second revolution as many here are. Human nature dictates they are planning for survival and availability, plain and simple.

With that in mind, here’s a What-If to ponder- what if suddenly the whole thing goes to hell in a hand cart, and there is a major SHTF and things are very scarce due to ongoing economic depression? It changes the playing field from the grandiose Us vs. Them, to the sense of “I’m out of stuff for me and my family, there hasn't been any supplies for a month, my neighbor still has some, and I’m armed to the teeth. I’m going next door and taking it.” When the bottom of the barrel is dry, people will do what it takes. Guess who all that stockpile is going to be focused at then? Ain't life grand...

So now you have the prospect of fighting on two fronts: keeping one eye open at night to watch for the ‘evil establishment troops’ kicking in your door in the middle of the night, and keeping the other eye open at night looking out for the neighbor who wants your shit.

Anyone still think this is all fun and games? Call me cynical, but I don’t have faith in my fellow man, and all this tells me is that if push does come to shove, I’m not only going to have to worry about the ‘evil establishment kicking in my door at 3am,’ but also the idiot next door desperate and dumb enough to try and relieve me of my supplies, and this time, they are going to be equally armed. That’s an awful lot of lost sleep at night in that scenario. Thanks, but no thanks. I’ll lay low and take my chances alone.

"Despite a weak economy and slumping retail sales, firearm sales continued to increase in January, continuing an upswing that began after November's election.

Data from the FBI's National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) show background checks on the sale of firearms jumped 28.8 percent in January when compared to January 2008. The increase follows a 24 percent rise in December and a 42 percent jump in November, when a record 1,529,635 background checks were performed."
