Excellent, that guy is the most qualified speaker i've heard about government tyranny and what happens when you don't have a right to keep and bear arms. Too bad that video wont be shown on TV.

I have walked around Tiananmen square in 2006 . You couldn't really get anyone to talk directly about the things that happened there, but even then the answer to many what if questions were "you would never see that person again". Big brother is alive & well in China. If you type in Tankman into any search engine in the US you will get several hundred thousand results. Try it in china & I have done it personally, know what you get, ZERO results. Of the things that would get you disappeared there then & now, free speech was at the top of the list. China is still a hardcore communist regime based on socialism. We must not let things like this happen here, as all democracies end in socialism. What you must not forget is that we are a republic not a democracy. I personally hope things dont get that bad here but it looks like someone is pushing things in that direction.

I remember that dude, talk about guts or crazy that guy had it. I hope if the SHTF I would have half his guts although I may be a little more tactical about it. Well, as tactical as my old fat a$$ can be.

Well, as tactical as my old fat a$$ can be.[/quote] Well I think that is really the point in all this talk about ensuring the 2nd Amendment stays intact. In the absence of "tactical" options these acts of desperate defiance that are akin to suicide is all you have to fight with. Of course, if the state controls all forms of information going in and out, it makes these acts of defiance moot since it can't rally the cause when nobody knows what is happening. This is the defining reason the 2A is so important. The Chinese would have never pulled this stunt if the people had access to firearms. People would have revolted, set fire to those tanks and gunned the crews as they escaped. This is happening in Syria everyday. Libs and naysayers claim that the 2A is pointless since the military has tanks and airplanes anyway, but if you look at dozens of videos of the Syrian revolution you'll see that doesn't matter one bit. In my opinion it'll never come to that in this country, because our government wouldn't dare cross that line with such a well armed populace. The 2A is what keeps those options of ultimate tyranny off the table. Two generations down the road it may be a much different story.
