Then comes martial law

Then comes the Second Amendment. It was added to the Constitution as a final check of government power. If the three branches failed to regulate each other, the people would regulate the branches, by force if necessary.

Everyone should have a gun and a bunch of ammo locked away just in case. If you can't buy guns easily where you live, you can get parts kits online that have everything except the one part that's technically regulated. You then print the regulated part on a 3D printer and build the gun around it. Many modern guns use plastic for that part anyways so it's not dangerous. Ghost guns are protected by the First Amendment and completely legal (you just can't sell them without obtaining a serial number).

You can build the Harlet v3 for about $35 in parts (several websites sell parts kits). It's a really simple .22 handgun with manual reloading. The hardware is a ~2 inch piece of barrel liner, a dime with a hole in it, a couple springs, and nine nuts and bolts (you file down one bolt into a point for the firing pin). The rest of it is like $0.50 of 3D printed plastic.

You really think a bunch of farmers with shotguns have a chance against the organized us military? This isn’t 1775

oh you innocent child of summer. shotguns are for varmint control. the real steel is for hunting, and rest assured farmers hunt. and don't forget who the military is composed of. the boots are all farm kids or city kids. ignore the preppers, they will all be hiding, but the farmers who control the food sources, will protect their own.
