Maybe they have to learn fear to see what being a domestic terrorist does to the country? They have the guns but, we've got the numbers. Gonna win, yeah we're takin over! Come on!!!

The decision to not have people shooting at ICE is a very intentional one, not driven by a lack of guns, but by an estimate of what is most likely to succeed

I said they have the guns, but we have numbers. A. It's lyrics to a doors song from decades ago. B. It's implying those who oppose the violence and warmongering are in much greater numbers than those who support it.
