      I just don’t feel comfortable bringing a gun into my house. I don’t think I stand a chance against 10 automatic-wielding ICE agents.

      If it comes down to that, we’ve already lost.

      Right now, I’d advise people to do as much outreach as possible to people you know. If you’re on commercial social media, post a screenshot, put the link in a comment. Send a DM. Put up stickers.

      Building the level of support that would be necessary to win a revolution likely makes nonviolent paths such as impeachment possible.

      The guns are to prevent violent suppression of that public support. Not as a first choice.

        That’s one part of it, but also people should be defending themselves and their communities from ICE and one way to do that is guns. When an ICE agent is arresting your neighbor the correct option isn’t to preach nonviolence, but to pull the damn trigger.
