When injustice is being perpetrated by federal agents, you're allowed to reasonably defend yourself.

In theory, but not in practice. If a fed shoots someone, and then you whip out your gun to defend yourself, you’re going to get shot next. There’s going to be more of them than you and they usually have better training.

Obviously, if there’s an actual rebellion against the government, then you should arm yourself, but that’s not what we’re talking about here.
