    If the government comes for me, they’re bringing more people than I can shoot. The first answer to that, is to prevent that from happening through political action. The second is that you don’t respond to that with a gun.

    Everyone on Ruby ridge was armed, everyone in Waco was armed. They’re all dead for their troubles. A gun won’t fix that problem.




  • You’re mistaking support for our way of life, with support for Trump. We could rise up, we could overrun our own government, on a fairly short time scale. But then we’re also in a civil war. Which even assuming we win, in the best possible amount of time, with the least casualties, we still have to rewrite our laws to stop this happening again.

    Or, we can sit here and work the system we have. Take fewer casualties, destroy fewer buildings, and have the same, if not better, odds of success. While keeping as much as possible, and rewriting the laws so this doesn’t happen again. There are limits on Trump, and what the public will allow. They’re just not as touchy as what the rest of the world would allow. Most places operate with much smaller communities, where feedback is much quicker.
