Remember this, you have to fight with the gun(s) you have, not the guns you want, so plan accordingly and don't skip the gun you would want, unless it is a MG42 or other exotic piece.

Good to have: handgun, rifle, shotgun, survival knife

And of course, plenty of ammo!

One of the reasons I'd not allow any 'Authority' without a proper search warrant on my property. I fuss at my hub for leaving the garage door open, I can't stock non-perishable food out there. Just some water, which I don't have room inside for. Good luck prying my legally bought protect out of my hands.

For one thing...Martial Law is nowhere allowed in the Constitution and it would be a declaration of war against we the people. And then it would be balls to the wall. I'm going to tell you how I'd deal with it. Sort of the same way I dealt with a bully back when I was 14. This guy named James had sent my brother home with a cigarette burn on his cheek telling him to get me to come down to the local school which was at the end of my block because he wanted to "kick my ass". Well my mom and I got in her car and drove down there and he proceeded to act like the animal he was by cussing out my mother as she was cussing him out. My mom was the current government. When they were all done I said to James...are you done? As soon as he said YES, I attacked him. He was martial law. I totally caught him off guard. Within seconds I had him down in the street with all of his little followers standing with their mouths wide open aghast. I was smashing his face into the asphalt over and over and my mother was screaming..."Your going to kill him!" to which I replied "That's WHAT I'M TRYING TO DO."

Now imagine me today at the age of almost 70 with a total disdain for bullies to this day. I could have been killed by his buddies back when I was 14 because there were about 8 of them to one of me. But they actually freaked out and didn't even help him the least bit. And I could be killed today if the bullies in the government were to attack me or my family. But you know what? I WILL KILL EVERY FUCKING ONE OF THEM I CAN BEFORE I GO DOWN. I'll make a John Wick flick look like kids in a sandbox playing cops and robbers. So any of you shit for brains assholes that may be reading this from the "government". Beware. I don't miss. At least ONE of you will die. I will try to make it ALL of you that attack me. So fuck your martial law. Fuck most of your "laws". As long as I do no harm the laws you make that make me a 'Criminal' when there are no victims are criminal in themselves and if you ENFORCE them you are a sick sack of shit that needs to be put down like a rabid dog. Got it Johnny?

Great insight and article, Edwin.

Any ideas as to the future of class III NFA firearms in citizens possession?

For those of us in non-registration states, the federally registered NFA items are perceived as "snooper magnets" since the fed's can demand that the weapons are in one's control and possession. That's usually defined as a "social call" from the corrupt, woke ATF 'tards.

Onward, Christian soldiers!

From what I can tell by looking at video's on Youtube, which show kids with Glock switches showing them off, I lot of non NFA items will be turning into NFA items pretty quickly. That device that was the reason Matt Hoover of CS Firearms on Youtube was caged would be pretty easy to put together using some common house hold tools I'm sure. Why anyone at this time would want one is beyond me. I'd rather have a semi auto that I can shoot accurately than a full auto that can't shoot accurately.

Years ago I and some friends were out shooting in the country when a guy who had a number of FA weapons and the stamps to go along with them came out to where we were practicing. He ran a large gun shop in South Florida called Tamiami Gun shop. He had an M14 which was a .308 that was issued to some troops in Vietnam. He gave us a magazine with five rounds in it and held a $100 dollar bill in his hand and said if you can hit that silhouette more than once with this rifle from an offhand stance, I'll give you this $100 bill. It was about 25 yards away. Now at the age of 24 I was a pretty strong dude at 6'4" 230 pounds. I tried and got ONE shot on the target. The other four went who knows where. That cured me of wanting a full auto anything at that point. Now I have seen how some guys handle the M16 on Youtube and since the cartridge doesn't in any way compare to .308, I'd be inclined to think that one of those "could" be useful if you had an unlimited supply of ammo available after a SHTF scenario. But who does? So wasting a lot of ammo would be a waste. PLUS who wants to deal with a "snooper magnet"?

I think that those of us who have Class III NFA firearms, registered, tax stamped, will be the least of their worries just like it always has been. What, the only time a Class III NFA firearm was used in a crime, it was by a policeman.

This is crazy and please don’t give the Democrats any ideas!

PS...Those two cops in the picture breaking and entering are pretty vulnerable if someone starts shooting through the wall at them. Especially with a 450 Bushmaster or 500 S&W magnum.

I like the 450 Bushmaster idea, make a real mess.
