    If the government comes for me, they’re bringing more people than I can shoot. The first answer to that, is to prevent that from happening through political action. The second is that you don’t respond to that with a gun.

    Everyone on Ruby ridge was armed, everyone in Waco was armed. They’re all dead for their troubles. A gun won’t fix that problem.

      If you are as good as dead either way, why do you think it’s better to go down without a fight?

      Being disarmed won’t save you, it just makes you an easier victim of the same forces.

      “Armed resistance never works” says the uneducated and ahistorical American with no understanding of the world outside the fascist empire they live in.

          You need a gun to join an armed resistance, Einstein. Surrendering your guns prevents your ability from joining an organized resistance.

      It’s not about the reality of defending yourself from tyranny with homicide. It’s about the psychological comfort that the warped fantasy brings.
