    You think civilians with guns are going to thwart an army?

    Sure, if they are coming after you directly and you’ve got nothing else to lose, it would make sense to make a stand.

    But if you preemptively show that you are a threat then you will be bringing that upon yourself, and possibly others, needlessly. We have seen this before, as another user pointed out, with Waco and Ruby Ridge.

    Do not make yourself a target and a danger when the threat against you is just shitty laws that benefit the wealthy.

      Civilians did thwart an army. Look at the middle east. We didn’t win shit, we just left.

      Bold of you to assume that’s the only threat.
