That depends. How eager are you to see civilians mowed down by machine gun fire in US cities? Do you really think the 2nd amendment means shit in a country where the military mounts Browning machine guns on vehicles? People who think the 2nd amendment actually gives you a redress against the government fail to understand the doctrine of superior firepower. The 2nd Amendment is a dinosaur of extinct beliefs that ordinary people can fight highly trained soldiers and win. A Hollywood myth maintained by the right to keep the NRA wealthy and themselves in power. Anyone rebelling against the US Government will quickly find themselves either in prison or dead. Any other outcome is sheer myth. The government knows this. It’s the people that wear tacti-cool gear and cosplay in militias that are idiotic enough to believe that they stand a chance.
Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, probably Iran next all would love a word…
Small arms win revolutions, not planes and bombs. On top of that, it’s not easy to find people willing to kill people who sound and look like you…and it’s even harder to do in a country where you’re neighbor leans right and you lean left. You think they’re going to use precision guided shit for a single home?

quite eager tbh. I hope it happens, then 2 weeks later you guys get carpet bombed by some foreign power and some cunt like @[email protected] will come and say “you know people in the US don’t like their government”
Yes, people suffer and die in armed revolutions. But there are very few “peaceful” revolutions that have been successful in history. Even Ghandi needed to benefit from armed revolutionaries fighting the British in the background to be the more reasonable choice. MLK needed the Black Panthers openly carrying firearms to advance black rights.
Until the populace is willing to die, nothing changes in a dictaorship. Sadly, the tree of liberty sometimes needs to be refreshed with the blood of patriots.
What is the threshold?

it also increase the risk of suicide.
Go buy more guns mate you’d be doing the world a favor. Just do it.
Ugh ok. I guess I’ll just accept the mundanity of overarching inhumane oppression without putting up any form of resistance whatsoever.

Better die standing than live as a coward
