Yeah, you're real tough buddy. I'm sure you would have shot every cop. They'd learn real quick not to mess with you!

So many gun laws exist today because Black Panthers doing cop watch. Basically they were across the street from police watching them during traffic stops with their guns out and it lead to a lot less people getting killed or mistreated during traffic stops. That's kind of a simplified history of it.

In my area police made some policies that lasted for more than a decade about not patrolling a certain area and then needing to respond with a shitton of officers if there's more than 2 people involved in a "potentially volatile situation" due to a bunch of people shaking a cop car and telling them to f off 20 years ago.

So blasting all quasi legal unmarked cops/ice isn't realistic or necessarily what most 2A people advocate there's plenty of history and merit in letting them know that people can potentially fight back, probably easier than you think to scare them considering a lot of the modern training is fear based

Lol wear a ski mask and go break a car window while someone is inside it, you'll make it no further than 3 cars.

That's not at all what I'm saying, but if the populace at large was armed these fascists wouldn't be so bold as to break into people's cars. These SS officers of the current day should be afraid to carry out their evil. The problem is we're so full of ourselves we've turned into pussies who are actually complacent with how the state disrespects us. Why do you think the working class keeps losing ground every year? We're more productive and efficient every day, but we lose more and more economic and social power by the minute.

But sure just keep calling me a tough guy while offering no real answers. I'd bet when they're knocking on your door you'll have wished you had something to protect yourself. I'm telling you now, America is cooked.

The population at large is armed, though. There's more guns than people in this country.

The problem is that no one is willing to use those guns to stop this.

I almost never see folks open carrying around me or anywhere I travel. Sure there are a lot of guns, but a lot of those guns are owned by a smaller group of people. I can't speak for most states, but it's completely legal to carry in mine, yet only right-wingers do. That's a problem IMO.

I think there is an increasing amount of people willing to be that tough guy tbh

Yeah just like all those "tough guys" that resisted Nazi occupation. Guess they were real silly to risk their lives for their freedom
