    What are you gonna do when the government comes after you with your scrawny ass weapon? It’ll work against a neighbor, sure, but the military can see through your walls using wifi alone. There’s a literal helicopter above your house tracking your every move. They know more about you than you realize. This is the strongest army in the world we’re talking about.

    And, even if violence sounds tempting, there are so many things to do before any of that, like resist and organize. You can definitely fight back in man other ways besides a picket sign and a gun. I’m not sure why those are the only two options.

      You don’t get in a tank fight with a pistol. Pick your battles.

      United Healthcare just lost 80 billion in value when some rando took out its CEO.

        No way that would work here. We have like, grass and stuff. The sand helps to… slow them down or something…

        It’s not that funny but I’m poking at the anti 2A people who always ask what you plan to do with your rifle against an apache helicopter. There’s good examples to point to as you noted, but I’m more interested in the obvious counter point, which is what are you going to do to that apache without a gun? I never hear an answer to that one. Obviously nobody on the ground is going to be having a good time in that situation but at the end of the day I’d rather be taking shots at it than throwing rocks or just lying face down and hoping they miss me.

      efore any of that, like resist and organize. You can definitely fight back in

      resisting and organizing are necessary steps.

      Do you really think they’ll be effective against the man that will happily mow down the people resisting?

      When one side is ready to use violence and the other side is not, the other side always loses.

      We’re still monkeys with sticks over here.

        Is he mowing people down? He’s purging and people are resisting, as they should. And despite that the only threat has been towards us foreigners. You have more to worry about your fellow bleeding heart patriots. Arm yourselves against those first if you must.
