This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Well, the other side of it is that it doesn't matter how good your planning and logistics are if you only have rocks to throw when you get there
Nobody with a lick of sense ever said that a civil war against an established and well equipped government was going to be fought on battlefields, lined up and infantry vs civilian infantry.
And it takes more than guns, as the Iraqis and Afghanis showed. But calling guns useless in a revolution or civil war, much less as a resistance or insurgency is just stupid.
I feel like it'd have to be a lot like Vietnam, with vets communicating 1 on 1 with soldiers, convincing them not to side with the government (trump has marginalized vets, after all). A military coup would be the best case scenario here. You convert his military, you remove his power.
Guns are pretty much giving the government the excuse to just shoot you as a crazy gun nut (or extremist group,...) and shoot you without any morale repercussions in the people they use to do so and without any PR nightmare in the greater population for them.
They're already abducting and deporting academics on the flimsiest justifications based off social media posts disparaging Trump and/or Elon. We're past the point that they need to label people something as heavy as gun nut to justify their actions.
