I just finished this book earlier tonight. It was an excellent read, and anyone that appreciates freedom and doesn't look through the window of their bellybutton as far as the ATF and other agencies are concerned would do well to read it. Here's my question:
If someone were to start something like Bowman did, how many of us would "rise up" like the numerous nameless people that did in the book? How many of us would actually go so far as to kill the people that have ended or ruined countless lives for no good reason? I don't think I could be the first, but I think I could help out after it got going. This brings me to another question:
How many of us have the know-how to pull off something like what happened in the book? If you had the will-power to assassinate people that deserved it, how many of us would be able to do it without getting caught? Like the author said in the book, the gun culture is made up of people with above average intelligence and education (from my experience anyway). Yeah, there are some gun owners that are idiots, but the majority of the actual "gun culture" definitely received more than the average amount of brains when <insert diety here> was passing them out.
I'm not asking for people to sound off with "yeah, I would do this stuff." I'm asking more in general. If someone started it, how far would it go? Or would we just sit around and talk about it and complain to the powers that be like we do now?
