Alright, I apologize if I'm pushing into Doomer territory here, but the whole "antique guns only" thing sounds like it may be a trap -- such weapons could very well give them an excuse for the use of lethal force, without giving us any real chance of victory in such a confrontation.

If it's not too late, I would STRONGLY suggest that as many of you as possible get MODERN firearms there; I'm sure there's a legal way to do it (maybe transporting them disassembled?). Note that you should NOT violate any laws, especially not openly, unless you are surrounded by many other pedes doing the same -- don't give them an excuse to make an example out of you. Also, remember that we aren't a lawless mob; we're there to UPHOLD the law: the Supreme Law of the Land, which many in our government seem to have forgotten.

As has been pointed out before, if they don't fear us, they can simply ignore us; just be careful to make them fear your POTENTIAL for violence, rather than feeling that you represent an INEVITABLE threat. A potential threat should be handled carefully and perhaps reasoned with, while an inevitable threat is an excuse for preemptive violence.

This is our last chance to save America, DO NOT let the light of hope fizzle and die simply because we were manipulated into not fighting hard enough.
