"...bumper stickers were at that time [1976] sold reading "I Will Give Up My Gun When They Peel My Cold Dead Fingers From Around It." The stickers were sold by the Citizens Committee for to Right to Keep and Bear Arms, today the advocacy arm of the Second Amendment Foundation." (Wikipedia)
Both Heston and Wayne later paraphrased it as did many others. It sounds dramatic to say though I doubt many would really refuse to surrender their small arms if faced with the certainty of dying while fighting against an entire group of highly armed soldiers on their own.
