Interesting take, Peter.
Any chance of that happening? And not having a provocateur in the ranks who will guarantee shooting does start?
I wouldn't suggest my approach if I didn't think that ultimately it would win the day--the arrest would be declared illegal, the property would be returned, and the offenders would be liable for providing civil damages.
And precedent would be established loud and clear.
But by making it starkly all or nothing with a likelihood to escalate, your way simply will not happen--who would join such a plan?
Peter, I know it's a cliche, but it is not about guns, it's about freedom. Rosa Parks temporarily allowed her freedom to be infringed so that she could win the greater battle. She did not board the bus with dozens of armed men who were locked and loaded, but still managed to change the nation forever.
If you ever do decide to engage in an act of resistance, I recommend a stealthier approach than the one you offer. Much stealthier, to where no one would ever know you had any part in it.
Because unless I miss my guess, you're going to have a hard time rounding up those other 99 gun owners.
