I agree! The 2nd amendment isn't for the right or left. It is for EVERYONE, some people just chose to ignore it because they could. It's easy to make fun of open carry gun nuts and paranoid preppers, but you know maybe a government that is unwilling/unable to help you isn't so far fetched after all

Anyone can buy similar stuff, train at a range every month or so to get proficient (dry fire is fine too if you don't have a range), read a few military manuals your tax money paid for. Being a responsible gun owner may sound daunting but it's not.

Then work on physical fitness a bit, enough to take a 5+ mile hike without dying. Learn some first aid too because everyone should be able to deal with a gunshot wound anyway.

In the end you can't assume that your political opponents to take risks for you

They might still be on step 2

ignite a full on civil war

It's already a civil war.

Don't mistake me I basically agree with everything your saying, but make no mistake we are Germany in the '30s, whatever you are doing is what you would have done then.

We're all on the internet talking tough about it while the camps are being built...

How do you know people posting that aren't doing it? It already is ignited, it's at a low burn, only because people aren't fighting back en masse yet, but in some places there is resistance going on. I agree though, "don't speak about it, be about it".

I went out, got a permit to purchase, and bought a gun plus ammo shortly after Trump was elected. I have been prompting friends and others to do the same, organizing who I can to the cause. I am no fool, one man with a gun can't solve this, nor do I believe myself to be some great revolutionary leader who will lead the nation into the future. So, instead, I promote the cause, I continue to try to organize and prepare for the eventual war that is to come, and remind people like You that You have done nothing and continue to do nothing. You can change that, the revolution does not only need fighters, but those willing to spread the message of rebellion, and those willing to do what they can to support the cause. Stand with us, or stand aside.
