    That’s what all their guns are for, right? Not just for shooting minorities and kids, right?

      It’s a great way to get arrested or killed, scare people away from resistance for fear of their safety, and embolden fascism by turning a constitutionally protected peaceful resistance into a domestic threat.

      How many people with guns do you estimate it takes to overthrow the largest military in the world by force?

        I think it’s hilarious that the US navy has the second largest Air Force in the world but people think they’re going to take it on with some handguns and rifles.

        50 million? The population of the US is something like 340 million and there are more guns than people in this country.

          No, he didn’t. He wrote an executive order. That’s not a law. It’s a directive to the executive branch, and we are in no way obligated to follow it as citizens.

          SCOTUS ruled that a district judge cannot impose a nationwide injunction against the executive order. Each judge will now have to rule on the case of birthright citizenship independently. The 14th amendment is very clear.

            He declared, and people are going along. ‘Law’ does not seem to matter here.

            We are not obligated as citizens. Thats what the men with guns are for.

            scotus says

            Thats some tepid-ass bullshit for a part of thr constitution, it almost doesnt matter that the administration is going to wipe their asses with it.

              So because you believe something will happen, we should lead a small, unsuccessful, violent revolution to ensure that it does happen?

              How about you keep your big feelings to yourself while the people who have successfully grown a resistance from a few hundred thousand to ~10M in four months continue to successfully plan and execute a real resistance.

                You use that phrase a lot. I feel like you’re not actually reading what im typing.

                It’s not a resistance if it can’t actually do anything. I’m not sure the milder thing is necessarily the easy sell.

                  What about growing numbers is confusing to you? 10M people is ~2% of our nation. We couldn’t collectively get anything done, yet. We’re growing a resistance through organized protests.

                  You clearly haven’t read enough on the topic. Do some research and then we can talk. Until then, your opinion is woefully uninformed.

              Then why haven’t we been arrested for protesting yet? Oh, right, because it’s still protected.

              Maybe you should talk to a therapist about those big feelings instead of typing all caps and name-calling.

                The big word is YET.

                They are funding ICE with 10 billion dollars. ICE will not be used just for immigration. It will be filled with Nationalist goons and thugs and ICE will be the group that goes after citizens and dissenters.

                Give it a year and large protests against the current regime will probably not be allowed.

      I mean yes, but most of the gun owners in this country will rise up and stand on the side of tyranny.
