    This is not a question of whether someone should or not, but a question of whether doing so will make them feel safer.

    The answer to the first question is usually “yes”, but the answer to the second question is usually “no”.

    If the state wants you dead, a gun and a couple boxes of ammo aren’t going to be more than a minor inconvenience to the state.

      This is why you organize, the real trick is that they make you think you should be doing it alone.

      I’d rather inconvenience the state than march quietly into the concentration camp, thank you.

        Amen to that. I’ve studied enough of my history to know that, whatever ignoble and unpleasant end awaits me at the end of a fascist’s gun barrel will still be vastly preferable to whatever horrors await in a camp. I refuse to die in one outright, by any means necessary, even if that means dying on my front lawn instead.
