      I guess? Mutually assured destruction is a form of brinkmanship that I’m not sure if I’m comfortable attempting. I won’t judge you for how you choose to defend yourself against this administration but I will say that guns rarely deescalate a situation. I truly hope that ICE or the FBI or whoever actually do back down from more violent actions if they fear for their lives, but I feel like it’s more likely that they will simply engage in greater shows of force. Maybe that will wake more people up to what they’re doing.

      First of all the, majority of gun owners fully support the fascist regime. So you will be fighting them and the military.

      Second of all, you would be fighting against the government. Spy drones, tanks, missiles, etc. You will be killed and you won’t have a fighting chance. There is no escape.

      Guns have already destroyed our society from within. Tens of millions of people live in fear of gun violence. Millions of partners can’t leave their relationships because they fear death. Tens of thousands of people are raped at gun point every year.

      The amount of human suffering is staggering.
