    Every American household has a gun, but not a single spine in sight.

    Go do something pussy Americans.

      You don’t understand very much if you think any singular individual with a gun can simply “do something” about the military-industrial complex and militarized police force.

      Lone wolf attacks don’t accomplish shit but bad PR. Actuality doing something effective would take a level of organization and coordination that doesn’t exist and may even be impossible due to the surveillance state and even just the fractured state of american society.

      Even a well-ordered movement wouldn’t have the firepower to match what they’re up against. Virtually limitless federal budget, armored vehicles, a monopoly on everything bigger than a rifle, thousands of centrally-organized personnel, etc.

        You haven’t heard of guerilla war? It has worked elsewhere. In fact, it has worked against the US.

        I really would prefer it doesn’t come to that. However, the midterms will tell the world if that’s the only option.

          I’m sure the average keyboard warrior will be able to engage in those tactics effectively if it comes to that. And I’m sure that wouldn’t just result in even worse devastation on a far greater scale.

          Regardless, at least we seem to agree that we should wait and see how midterms play out before taking any drastic measures…

        What’s the point of having guns then?

        Americans should give up their guns, at least less children will be sacrificed to Baal
