If everybody at ICE protests showed up with masks and a gun would there be more or less violence? (lemmy.world)

Would protestors be safer? Thousands of masked people with guns. Chaos?

I can’t help but think that the only solution to ICE is a “well regulated militia” in combination with political reform, with both being necessary.

the people would never win because they'd be fighting the American empire's forces

I think the US has been great at spreading the "we are so invincibly powerful" narrative, but, how would that actually work? Do you see the US military carpet-bombing their own cities? A nuke here and there?

Soldiers, in the end, are people. No matter how MAGA they can be, I bet most would think twice about bombing their own country and countrymen.
