Great idea in a country full of people with free access to guns who actively want to shoot anyone that could unexpectedly break down their door.

Full of people with access to free guns, that always brought up the excuse of fighting an autocratic government as a reason for keeping them, but when autocracy finally came nothing happened.

Fucking cowards. The lot of them.

Well let's see if that does actually really help at all. So far it did not.

Only a matter of time. First gen immigrants actually commit far fewer crimes on average, so it's unlikely they're gonna shoot someone showing up at their door.

They're also guaranteed to be using government data to target non-MAGAts, thus are far less likely to roll up on someone who has a militia stash and itchy trigger finger. ICE are the MAGAt militia.

Bro anarchists and socialists and communists and regular ass Democrats also own guns. They probably don’t LARP like they’re SEALS or post about it on the medias either.
Some of the most dedicated to their beliefs and world view people I know were trapping in the sandbox during GWOT, doing hood rat shit on the daily. They’ve still got sticks bro.

It probably helps drive home the point that you might want a way to defend yourself on hand when you’re searching a house for ordinance and you catch a 7.62 round in your front sapi and you realize that if that hit like 3-4” up you’d be gurgling blood out your Adam’s Apple or 3-4” to the left and your be frothing blood at the mouth while your boys try to seal up the lung leaking air out your back with the plastic wrapper of a field dressing, while in reality the homie your boys just bodied was just some farmer dad living in the house with his family. Bro was just some old fucking guy who thought his country should be sovereign strong enough to fight for it, probably killed or wounded a fair amount of troops with the ordinance stash he had hidden away, and came inches from killing you for it, but all dude really wanted to do was farm and chill with his family.

Seeing that kind of reframes your whole idea of who would make up an armed insurgency, or at least how it’s not just the head choppers and brainwashed kids who are willing to die for it.

Sounds like justification for some overwhelming force for the police, to me.
