      You say that…like that changes anything.

      He’s already declared martial law by sending in military units to cities. He’s already done it.

      What the fuck do we have to lose?

        Exactly as I’m seeing it. And I armed and practicing. Not saying, “I have a bunch of guns and ammo so I’m a tough guy!”

        Anyway, went to camp today and sent some .556 armor-piercing down range. Sight is good enough for me, good enough for 100’. Did you know that green-tips drill holes in 1/4" steel? I didn’t! Walked down to look at my target and it looked like I took a drill press to it!

        Anyway, unidentified, warrantless, masked men are targets in my book. Police patches? LOL, anyone can buy those on Amazon. Want a link?

        They’re not here yet, but I have eyes on.

        Yes, I’ll almost certainly die. No, I’m not letting them take my brown, legal wife.

          Your comment fills me with a deep dread that causes me to feel like saying something to discourage you from this path. Alas, it’s not your preparation that is causing that feeling, but the grim circumstances that necessitate this kind of planning.

          It’s difficult being on the other side of the world and completely unable to do anything than just watch as America descends deeper into fascism. However, I’m glad that I am not in the impossible position of making the decisions you’re making. I’m sorry that you are.

          Good luck, I hope you don’t die. And I hope that people like you are able to claw back democracy from the fascists
