That wasn't advice, that was a purely hypothetical scenario!!!
Hey, I respect those guys that are going to try to kill a bunch of cops over this - OK, no I don't, but that's neither here nor there... You'll be dead, your family will be without you (if they survive the crossfire), and your guns will still be gone. Maybe you'll be lucky enough to kill some misguided - but probably not evil - cops at the same time. Bottom line - you lose, and you will have done a lot more to hurt gun rights than to help them...
On another note, the cops didn't just take weapons from folks in really badly hit areas, they took them from the rich folk up in the French Quarter, too. Stupid, illegal, maddening - all of that and more. Worth killing or dieing over? Not to me. This wasn't the End of Days where the entire government was trying to seize all weapons and enforce some sort of tyrannical dystopia on the world, it was an isolated incident that involved the (very) bad decisions of a few local politicians. You knew that your rights were not in danger of being taken away forever, though your life certainly was. IMO, not the time or place to go down swinging (because you will go down).
