I love these comments. You know that there’s 2x as many guns in America as there are people right? Most of these protestors own guns. It’s just protesters won’t be the ones to start the violence.
But when it does start, they will certainly be the ones to finish it. We have the second Amendment for this reason, and using it too soon to placate those outside our country is stupid. Be patient. America will solve its own fascist problem the way it solved it before.
How about supporting them until that happens instead of getting mad peaceful protestors are trying to remain peaceful as long as they can. Even if they aren’t using them, they still have guns. So just a matter of time before they do start using them. Kirk, two attempts on Trump, and two dead CEO’s so far.
There’s a line that will be crossed eventually. Until then, protesting is the best way to show the country how much of us are sick of this shit. The last Kings protest was the 3rd largest in American history. And when it comes to guerrilla warfare, the thing you’re championing, getting an idea of what your numbers are before engaging the enemy is basic strategy. Don’t look at it as a protest, look at it as a show of force of how many Americans want to use their guns to defend against Tyranny.
I don’t disagree. At all. But seeing how violent our government is treating us, the moment for the collective action you’re talking about has passed. Unfortunately that leaves guns, which admittedly, is stupid we have. But we literally have them for this very reason: to protect against tyranny. And seeing as the literal definition of that is happening in our government, I feel the time we had to try actual meaningful civil disobedience is long past. What you don’t understand is that any disobedience is basically now seen as terrorism. So if we’re going to be arrested as terrorists and disappeared with no due process then there’s no room left to be just civily disobedient.
