So, lets say we get to August or some summer month, and 4,000,000 people are protesting right out front the white house.

Do they send in the tanks? Do they kill 1,000,000 people? Would republican civilians see empathy for the dead americans who were democrats? Or would it unite the nation like 9/11 did, except this time against the government?

    This comes down to ammo. if you have a bunch of guns they’re going to be useful until it runs out of ammo. If you are caching huge amounts of ammo and guns then yes that’s useful as long as you or your allies keep control of it. And caching ammo is harder and more expensive than just buying a gun.

    Like if your “military” is providing .223 ammo that .308 rifle isn’t going to be too useful for very long.

    Right, when I said “buy a gun” obviously there was no implication that you should also buy the appropriate ammunition to use said gun. I’m just telling people to buy unloaded guns to put on their mantles to look at.

      Are you telling them they should buy like 10 boxes of ammo and store them in different locations in case they lose access to a location?

      No you just tell everyone to “buy a gun” like its a magic ward. You downvote comments that say “that’s not enough”

        I downvote your comments because they’re pointless nitpicking, not because you say “that’s not enough.” If you had said, “Also, train, join an org, and read theory” I wouldn’t be downvoting you. Instead you said, “lol buying a gun won’t fix anything” and dismissed the suggestion as “individualist consumerism.” That’s not “going further.”

        I’m sorry that the pithy ending to a comment that was primarily about the history of Kent State was not a detailed outline of every possible tactic that could be effective at resisting.

            No, I didn’t. You just randomly decided to start attacking me based on a bunch of flimsy bullshit.

              You ruined the entire post by ending it with a poorly thought out conclusion. “Buy more ovaltine” level of dumb at the end. All you have to do to change my mind is edit the ending to something not as dumb.

                Yes, it’s exactly the same as telling people to buy ovaltine. Ovaltine will definitely help you kill fascists just as much as a gun will.

                Your position is so fucking stupid, and every angle you tried to defend it from has fallen apart under the tiniest bit of scrutiny. Including this one.

                  Thanks debate-me-bro so glad to have you on my side. I can’t wait for the glorius revolution where we all look at the guns on our mantles and jack off to them.

                    where we all look at the guns on our mantles

                    Lmao! Too much of a clown for me to even satirize you.
