    It’s not that everyone owns a gun, but that some people own a lot of guns. And it just so happens to be that those people support this kind of government tyranny.

    It would be a very different story if the “tyranny” was punishing people for hate speech. That would be the wrong people being hurt, and that’s unacceptable.

      I’m the first to call out the larpers, but another angle. There are people that own, train, and do not support tyranny. Think about it, though. Would these people just suddenly randomly choose to use lethal force at the expense of their own life, to defend millions of others that are sitting on their asses in and outside America, doing nothing? Would they just walk up to a group of ICE weenies and blow them away? That would not only end their life, but put their entire family, friends, loved ones, community at extreme risk, let alone being the powder keg the Stephen Millers of the world angrily masturbate to.

      Not to mention they’d be using a 10 round larper AR-15 that can only do semi-auto fire, versus possibly the strongest military force on the planet that has fighter jets, grenades, and missile-laden drones, and has already been illegally deployed in US cities on US soil.

      Everyone on this planet is responsible for stopping this. Not just the few with semi-elevated defensive measures.

        Maybe you would. Some of us know our local laws pretty well.
