This reminds me about a statement attributed to Stalin, concerning reports that Ukrainians were hiding guns by burying them: “Good. If they bury them, they cannot use them.”
You need more than to just have the firearms be present. You still need the will to, eventually, use them.
WA State Senate yesterday introduced statewide “assault weapons” ban bill intro’d by sens. Murray, Kohl-Wells, and Kline. I found news and link at new favorite dealer’s web-site: West Coast Armory North, formerly Sam’s Guns. Waiting for them to get their range open.
Also important, and perhaps more so, is how to hide ammo. My favorite is sealed in PVC tubes, buried along side pre-existing sources of metal, like building footings, metal cisterns, irrigation pumps, well-heads, garden/farm sheds, and the like. They would blend in if metal-detection or GPR is used.
Turned earth is the first place they’ll look.
And under that new gazebo.
And in the basement.
Granny’s coffin, on the other hand …
(especially if you actually cremated Granny)

DougM: Stop thinking burial.
Start thinking safe house.
You can hide a lot in a trailer inside a pole barn on a cheap bit of rural property. Or an apartment rented under a pseudonym.
^ Or in boxes of Christmas decorations in the basement of my Mom’s house. Well, it doesn’t actually have to be my Mom’s house. Get your own Mom.

That day is not the day to bury a rifle, it is the day to use it.
