    You don’t have to convince me, I’ve been armed for 30yrs. No armed militia is going to match the US military if the regime decides to unleash that on it’s own population, but matching what the right has been building for decades is going to require continued effort to deconstruct liberal/democrat ideas about the purpose of guns/militas and community defense. I think we’ve got momentum on that, we just can’t forget that the gun laws currently in place will perpetually abused to disarm us while go unenforced against their own.

      Agreed as my democratic family (on both sides) has always been aware that the second amendment was of great importance. but I don’t think that everyone necessarily needs to be armed. I think the peaceful protest approach is absolutely vital but we just need to start adding more intimidating factions within the movement to actually force the fascists from destroying our liberties. I don’t know if you have time but this documentary is worth a watch. https://youtu.be/r7dNLt5mC1A
