We shouldn't be resisting gun control all by ourselves, we need to enlist some real fire-power, AKA the military.
I think we should reach out to members of the armed forces, most of whom tend to be white (for now), and therefore have a conscience. We need to explain to them the overreach by both the federal government as well as the feds. Show them that the government has been subtly trying to restrict our gun rights. I have known about militia groups, and while I think the idea behind them is good (the populace should always arm itself), nevertheless we must not treat the military like it's our enemy. Yes the military is technically a part of the government, however its members are regular people just like us. They are not super opposed to the general populace like, say, the FBI.
I say we should bring them to our side, reach out to them just like we do regular Americans, and do not antagonize them. Make them see things our way. In fact, I think the benefits of doing so go far beyond opposing gun control. If we have the military's support, we can in theory gain a lot of political power and clout. It's like Chairman Mao said, political power grows out of the barrel of a gun. In fact, the fact the federal government have been trying hard to put Mexicans in the military tells us about the strategic importance of the military. So, I say, go forth and win the hearts and minds of servicemen, servicewomen, privates, generals, and everyone in between. But make sure you don't come at them with what I call, "revolutionary talk". Don't say things like how we should "fight the government" or even, "we should resist the government". Always let them talk first, ask them questions, draw them out, and really, really listen. When you identify one who also sees things our way, such as he is unhappy with the government's quiet attempts to take guns away, or governmental overreach and the similar, or really just any complaints about the general state of affairs, then you start to test the water subtly. It's hard to describe, but once you have done it enough times, you will know.
By the way, the federal government wants to recruit Mexicans into the military because they know that brown people would have little problems opening fire on white Americans, which is something the federal government really desires. They know that with the white military members, this is much harder to achieve.
