    Andy Weaver, the Branch Dividians, the Black Panthers, Native Americans, Mexico, the Philippines, Hawaiians, Germany, Japan, Spain, England, Canada, and Italy have all resisted the US government with arms.

      The Black Panthers one is particularly ironic given the NRA’s full-throated support of gun control laws in California (passed by good ol Ronnie R. when he was governor) that happened once black people started arming themselves.

      And nothing has changed. Never forget Philando Castile. The only reason they feel empowered is because the ones who actually want to take guns from “certain people” happen to agree with them ideologically.
