It's problematic to say you're arming up to actively hurt someone, even on Lemmy I believe they have rules against it. So you can only say I want to defend myself or try to imply through a wink or nudge.

What I'm tired of though is people thinking it's all going to be lone gunmen or large formations of people fighting. This is a resistance movement, we should be thinking like the French did when the Nazis came.

    Yeah, large formations wouldn’t work, but I don’t understand your lone gunmen comment. How would individuals form a resistance within a surveillance state? The surveillance state’s powers are currently being revamped with greater mass analysis abilities. The difficulty in organizing a resistance beyond protesting will probably mean more individuals taking drastic actions on their own, than if organizing was easy.

    Principle amount of "well go do it" people seem to infer lone gunman to me. Just generally comments from anti-gun people and those outside the USA.

    “well go do it”

    Bugs me too. They don’t seem to realize the complexity of it.

    And the general blood lust of non-USA people telling us to start killing one another in the streets.  Wonderful people.

    Yeah, the shoe has never been on the other foot. You reap what you sow and all that.

    Go do anything more like. Your high horse is dead, you should get off it.

    If you want to talk about how the us is somehow different then the rest of the world then consider this as comeuppance for telling other people in other nations what they should do for years and years.

    But really, do something, or collapse already.
