Aye, there's the rub.
One person with a CCW dies. Every time.
If a bunch of people go up against the government a whole bunch of people die but maybe change happens.
Remember January 6? A whole bunch of people with violent intent invaded the capital baying for blood then a bullet ripped through Ashli Babbitt's chest and she fell to the ground dead. Everyone else thought, "Holy fuck! They're shooting white people!" and it was over.
EDIT: Downvotes against ideas you don't like on Lemmy are just about as effective as your AR-15 is going to be against an armored Humvee mounted with a minigun but by all means, keep up the good fight.
I've made the choice to die with my boots on, should it come to that. This is not machismo, it's a thing I've thought long and hard about. Also, I have a brown immigrant wife. I'll die before I see her dragged from her home screaming and pleading.
That's a realistic take. I wouldn't go to war and wouldn't let me kids go to war because some rich asshole is waving his dick around or some coporation wants to protect their investment. If you come for my family you're going to have a real fight on your hands.
