    I’m doubtful that an armed US populace will be effective against the militarized police forces and literal military being deployed against Citizens.

    The second amendment was more realistic when society had roughly the same fire power as the military, but not so much any more.

    They have predator drones, we have AR-15’s. These are not the same.

      The number of Americans who showed up to protest in the streets on No King’s Day was at least 1 million more than the sum total of US military and police members.

      Start with small groups of ICE agents?
      Weapons manufacturing facilities?
      Infrastructure? Hacktivism?
      Economic targets?
      Rich mansions?

      Anything’s better than shoulder-shrugging after decades of molon labe.

        I don’t think we won a war against an insurgency on their own soil in…… ever?

        And that’s with the benefits of untouchable supply lines, and war production, unparalleled intelligence apparatus, and the ability to print money.
