    Kinda seems like the US has gone to war with her citizens: what with the deploying of troops against them and all. Maybe her citizens should start acting like they are at war.

    Too bad there are no cases in history of a guerrilla force standing their own against the “undefeated” US military. /s

        California didn’t accidentally become wealthy. Lots of smart & capable people there, albeit with much to lose.

        They’ll reasonably try to keep a lid on things, but there’s a line not too far from where Californians have currently gotten pushed to.

        Well, I recently bought two guns and tons of ammo in preparation.

        So have a few friends of mine in the last few months. And I know we aren’t the only ones.

        If this administration wants a war, they’ll get it, but they will not win.

          i’ve been armed for a long fucking time, but not because i want to start the fucking revolution. I’ve been armed because you can’t depend on the police for jack shit. it just felt like common sense.

          Buying a gun does not make you a warrior. How much do you train?

          I shot around 20000 rounds a year, and would not want to go up against a trained armed force.
