If this woman had been my wife ... murdered by hospital staff ... I would start picking the perpetrators off one by one, at range. What use are a expert marksman's skills if he doesn't use those skills when he and his have been wronged, and purposefully so?
My students' opinion of me was always that "the Prof is a kindly man". However, they didn't know what lies beneath. The only way to keep the beast within at bay is ... as Surak has always said .... secession.
Secession seems the logical step before the inevitable. For generations we have been bred into "comfort uber alles," and I fear that there will be no SHTF moment until people realize they literally have nothing left to lose but their lives.
The thing that really worries me about all this 2A business is that we've kind of outgrown its spirit as a national default state of mind. Oh, we're definitely still a gun culture, but only a serious remnant is prepared to go to the mat as the founders intended. But the deal is, without military-level organization, the police files will read "suicide by cop." I think DeGaulle after the fall of France warned against rash action and urged patriots to use their heads. Surveillance technology and reach is orders of magnitude more sophisticated than it has ever been, which really complicates matters. Changes the ballgame entirely.
I KNOW what I would have done ....
