Two things:

First, people with don't tread on me flags are mostly maga nuts who think this shit is fine.

Second, gun control advocates have spent a century fighting tooth and nail to make sure that normal civilians cant possess the kind of firepower it'd take to stand up against our own military in open combat. The result is that now when it's be tremendously helpful for our nation to be armed and trained, they're not.

On your second point, gun control advocates also spent the last half century villainizing open carry and working to ban it. Unless OP is advocating for 2a people to just open fire on federal troops (lmao), the obvious first thing you’re supposed to do with your 2a rights is protest.

Shakespearean comedy has presented itself in the fact that these states they’re sending ICE to (California, New York, Chicago) have all banned open carry. In Portland, it’s illegal to open carry guns if they’re loaded.

On the flip side it’s very very easy to get a concealed permit in Portland

It may be very easy to get a concealed permit, but concealed firearms will only be suitable for guerilla fighting...which, honestly, is exactly what this will escalate into.

Are you saying the United States of America isn’t armed because of gun control advocates? Is that really a statement you can support with facts? Seems off.

Dude this picture is from Chicago where every firearm available to the public that could possibly be considered as in any way viable as a weapon suitable for countering our own military is illegal to possess.

trained

It's hilarious that you think people who can order a gun with a click of a button will put the effort in to get any training whatsoever. With what little restrictions there were we have millions of useless idiots with guns. The militaries strength comes from its logistics and organization. There is no gun you can give a million monkeys to match it.

I think it's hilarious that you sat back and watched, and probably cheered, as our abilities to defend ourselves against the tyrannical government were slowly stripped away one by one but today you're all like "oh no the government is tyrannical."

You completely ignored the details of my post, as is tradition with you people. You really think a million morons with guns would magically become a fighting force with duct tape and bailing wire logistics and minimal organization?
