Seriously. The government has training, they estimate it costs $100k to train 1 solider, and thats just the ordinary infantry man, costs bloom when you go into training for Rangers, Air Force Ground control units, Marines, SEAL, Delta, Special Forces and SWAT. Cops are trained differently, but in combat roles they are as well trained in small confrontations as a soldier is. Then add in gear, scopes, optics, optimized ammunition, support weaponry, and whole lot of other stuff, nothing you buy will prepare you for taking on the government with weapons. Even the training these groups do will not help someone. That being said, in a collapse situation, a gun would be handy to have. Since the government forces REAL advantage is communication and "controlled Chaos" and unruly public would wreck their one true advantage (they have Rambo though... hmmmmmm). When I get a AK-47 and a SKS we will go shooting (should be this summer) One quick note, at no point will owning any gun protect you from the government. Seriously.

Welcome to the disturbingly 2nd Amendment motivated crowd. If you ever want a marksmanship instructor or tips on urban movement, let me know. I'd love to get behind some sights again. Still looking for my future 74M or 416 (wish me luck on both, but especially the latter!). - Chuck Hey, that rocks! Welcome to the disturbingly 2nd Amendment motivated crowd.

I never really saw the point in owning guns until I started to think about the survival aspect of owning one. I've been thinking about getting an AR15 and 45 too. I have a similar mindset.

I'll prolly buy a 45 too. I firmly believe in protecting myself against the government. I'd like to compare it to Hackers when Cereal and Lord Nykon are listening in on the phone conversations, know what I'm gettin at? I’m purchasing an AR15 when I graduate. I’ll prolly buy a 45 too.
