    To everyone in here saying that this is the end of democracy and this is the end times, what is stopping you from buying a gun and training with other liberals/leftists? Or are you just going to keel over and die?

      If they can afford a gun they likely have one, but rather than forming sects and training it seems like the moral thing to do, causing the least amount of harm to anybody, is wait for the enemy to attack first, if they do attack.

      Joining a small militant group or ecoterrorism sect not only brings personal risks but also runs the risk of harming innocents, and being manipulated by other interested parties who would like to see destruction on American shores.

        When you say wait for the enemy to attack, how will you defend your community in that eventuality if you haven’t trained to do so?

      I’m just going take my family and leave the country. I know that’s not an option for everyone, but it is for us, so we’re choosing that option.

        Depends on what you consider expensive. For general purpose training, 9mm rounds (pistol) are easily found at about 25c each and 5.56 (rifle) are found at about 40c each.

        It’s exactly what I did the last time orange man was in office, so yes, me first. Now you. Let’s hit the range together.
