    Well, Americans always defend their guns because they could use them to rise up against their government. So honestly, although normally considered impressive, you Americans raised our expectations even higher.

      We have guns, but the government has even more.

      There’s not so much gained from escalation. Cameras are still the best weapon, considering how many allegedly sentient organisms still have support for Trump’s actions. Media has claimed that “they’re only arresting violent illegals”, and “they’re only using soldiers to stop violent riots”. Regretfully, millions of people still believe that. The more evidence we can generate that both are untrue, the more that we can turn the tide.

      Sadly, the people that oppose totalitarianism are mostly the ones that opposed owning guns and lived according to their beliefs.
