    You act like I’m advocating murder. I’m advocating letting the government know that we can also have weapons and fight back. That doesn’t make me a fucking nut job, it makes me someone who has read a history book.

    Civil disobedience has almost never worked, compared to armed disobedience. Even if those weapons are never fired. The point isn’t to go in shooting, it’s to get the military and police to back down and give the people what they demand.

    You’re advocating for us to all roll over and wait until this administration gives us what we’re politely but firmly asking for. Which will never happen. They live for a show of force.

    Keep holding your beliefs, it’ll be the last thing through your smug brain before the government executes you.

      Show them a gun and you better be prepared to pull that trigger the moment they see it, because you’re going to die.

      In a tense situation where there’s been some minor violence, a gun will immediately escalate things to a lethal level.

      Stick to what I said and don’t make up stuff in your head please. I’m not against forceful opposition - rocks fly, things catch on fire, barricades get erected.

      But don’t give them an armed conflict where they will 100% win, and much more easily spin it to fit their agenda.

      That’s exactly what the Hamas attacks did - those fucking morons opened the door and put down a red carpet for Israel to get away with launching a full out “justified” war.
