Gun-freaks. What's your plan for when the government "becomes tyrannical"?

[Siri137]

LOL! He should be on the cover of Vogue :D

What do you plan on doing, exactly? I'd like to know. At what point will you know that your government is now a tyranny? How will you organise? Will you be willing to forego luxuries like your smartphones and the internet in general? You'll have to, because otherwise the Big Bad Government will track you down and either kill you or lock you up for insurrection. Do you know how to survive in the wild? Hunt? Fish? Start a fire without matches? How many of you have been in the army, and have at least some relevant experience? How will you avoid the drones, the helicopters and the FBI? Then there's the NSA, local law enforcement, and (worst of all) the vast army of Karens who will only be too happy to turn you in.

A well regulated militia, not a disorganised rabble of hillbillies and survivalists! The "security of a free state". In other words, this was written in order to provide a measure of insurance against the possibility of the new country being reabsorbed into one of the European empires (Britain, France, Spain). It made sense at the time, but it no longer does.

[Amur8711]

You don't think any of this doesn't apply to the War in Ukraine or Isreal and Hamas?

First your assumption is that all governing bodies are going to stay loyal to the Tyrannical Federal Government. Also if you haven't noticed but our Government hasn't been able to get enough recruits because of all the woke stuff they are pushing. Because the true Patriots that are willing to die for this country are not joining, that means your getting weak minded people filling the void.

Militias will form and a resistance will turn in to a standing army, and political officials that are sympathetic will help fund the cause. It happens all the time.

People thought that it was impossible to break free from British rule. But we did. We will have the same tools as they do, so we can spy on them too. Also there will be re encrypting of phones and electronics, ANTIFA does that currently with their members.

Also this is why Libertarians, Republicans, and other Patriots believe in the People of the United States has access to the same tools as the US military to make the ground on either side even.

Also remember there are more of us and retired military than there are Active duty and reserves

[Amur8711]

@Siri197, why do you think it doesn't make sense today?

[Siri137]

Regarding the encryption of phones and other electronics - what do you think the NSA specialises in? You would have to give up all electronic devices, because they can be traced.

[Amur8711]

Once again, do you see them giving up electronic in Ukraine or Israel?

[Amur8711]

There are items now that when you need to cut off all signals to your phone, you can. An example would be the go dark bag. which is probably going to be a standard issue from this point on for any soldier in the field.

[Rangers]

Fighting them, launching sabotage raids behind their lines, ambushing ground units in the woods, setting up traps to slow their advance, and assassinate high ranking military officers.

All of their supplies already come from us, so cutting them off is already easy, but they'll try to extort people for supplies, I'll see that none of their soldiers eat a single ration and drink a sip of water.

Infiltrate and attack behind their lines, forcing them to keep sending fire support back and forth but by the time they arrive, I'm already long gone and they come back to their general's dead body. They'll act hastily after losing leadership, and fall right into our trap. Then use their own artillery against them.

Oh, you thought I didn't think things through? Well then, the joke is on you

[MemeSupreme]

thats my secret

[exitseven]

There are millions of armed Americans. A great many are military veterans or police officers. Others are trained i the use of weapons. Guerilla warfare is the hardest thing to defend against.. Our country was founded by militia men who believed in having a free country. Is the government going to commit mass murder on American citizens because they oppose the current regime? They will not make many allies that way. Most people are sick of Bidens totalitarian polices and will vote him out of office the way the founders intended.

[Siri137]

Well, obviously I wasn't referring here to those who unfortunately need a weapon in order to do their job.

[exitseven]

Thanks for the MHO😎

[DryGermanGuy]

The idea that an unorganized horde of obese and diabetic people can stop a „tyrannical government“ (whatever that means) is both funny and delusional. Just watch and read the documentaries on Waco.

[Avicenna]

That kind of sneering arrogance leads you to underestimate people. They may indeed not be able to, but I wouldn't assume they'd fit your stereotypes.

[Siri137]

@Avicenna The stereotypes fit though.

[Avicenna]

To leftist crazies in an alternate universe, sure.

[DryGermanGuy]

Medical facts are medical facts and don't emerge from imagined or actual political settings. It's the other way around - good politics and political changes follow these medical facts. Why would anyone question that the health of the general populace has never been worse?

[Avicenna]

If I were you, I wouldn't assume it would turn out the way you think. I'm obviously not privy to any alleged "planning", but I'd imagine that hackers would play a significant role as would similar tactics as were used in Iraq.

And things would have to be really bad for that sort of scenario to occur in the first place, meaning that there might be more opposition to this tyrannical regime than you assume.

[Siri137]

What can "hackers" do though? In the real world that is, not online.

[Avicenna]

The point is that your opponent isn’t necessarily going to fight the way you want them to. Ask anyone who served in Irsq and Afghanidtan.

[Drewtate]

There is no plan. The federal government pretends they don't know where all the guns are and who owns them but they do. All those pretending they won't hand their guns in are lying. The only people that will hold on to their guns are criminals.

[exitseven]

They will make the millions of people that won't give up their guns criminals.

[Rangers]

Tell that to me, and millions of other gun owners who snorted at the ATF's demand to turn in pistol braces, FRT triggers, and bump stocks because they arbitrarily deemed them illegal.

Literally not one single person turned in a pistol brace

[Drewtate]

@Rangers millions you say? I doubt very much if there were millions of these items sold to gum owners and the majority of them were probably thrown in the trash as soon as they became illegal. Also they aren't essential to home defence or hunting or target shooting which is why no one cared except the Mainstream Media and the atf.

[blueonblack22]

Maybe if you wanted honest dialogue and thoughtful responses then it maybe be a good idea to avoid insulting people right of the bar (i. e. calling people “gun freaks”, “hillbillies”, “rednecks”, etc.)

That’s like me saying “so for all you commie libtards out there what is your plan on such and such?” Would you have a thoughtful dialogue with someone who insulted you like that?

[Siri137]

But that's what they are. They ARE gun freaks, rednecks and hillbillies.

[blueonblack22]

Yes yes yes. Just call anybody who owns guns that. What leftists really want in the USA to ultimately ban ALL guns. Funny how Adolf Hitler did the same thing in Germany when he started his the 3rd reich.

I own two handguns by the way. I have them for one reason and one reason only. If someone breaks into my house I will first call the cops, second yell at them to gtfo and third unload a full magazine if they try to venture anywhere close to my room.

I rather own a gun and never have to use it vs. not owning one and wishing I had one for a particular incident I mentioned above.

But what I find so ironic is the exact same people who are all about “defund the police” also want gun control. If someone breaks into your house what are going to do and who are you going to call? Even if you do call the police the fastest humanly response is maybe 2 minutes. 2 minutes is an eternity of time if you are dealing with a home intruder.

If anything women especially should want to own guns. It could strongest man in the world is trying to assault you but a bullet will end that threat real quick. It’s the great equalizer. Also if more women were armed it might make some scumbags out there think twice about their actions.

[Joshydavid25]

You need people outside the government which means the military, police, national guard etc to form that militia.. Seems to m le that it's saying people should be able to form militias to fight against any government.. Like they did with Britain..

[Andres77]

Bow to the government, trust the government, obey the government…said the German population as the nazis took over…after everything that has been said and done, YOU think you figured it out?

[Siri137]

Well, what's your plan? Come on, tell me. You must have one.

[Andres77]

You’re a contrarian.

[Dargil]

It already is. My plan for now is to vote Republican and donate to their campaigns.
As a back up, I have 4 weapons and a cache of ammo.

[Siri137]

How quaint. Someone who actually believes voting makes any difference to anything. :D

[Dargil]

Why I have 4 guns

[Anonymous]

This is akin to asking a 95-pound women how she expects to stop a 180-pound rapist with mace and being like "well if it's not likely to stop him then you should have mace." Like I'm sure most of these women would rather have the chance.

Not to mention, a rogue, tyrannical government not being funded by taxes (during an attempted overthrow) has a lot more problems and difficulties than you'd think.

[Fireguy17]

Exactly what is a gun freak?
I don't know if I would fit in that category, so I am unable to answer the question.

[AngryCarl2]

Storm the capitol... duh! Must stock up on cable ties.

[love_conquers_lust]

It’s not the government so much as other citizens that are the problem.

[Mansearching]

What are we going to do when more MENTAL UNSTABLE people get firearms.

[KostasKouvalis]

I wouldn't mind being absorbed by France, though maybe not under Macron's leadership.

[YAsQuen]

its not roll over and become a slave. ever heard of guirella warfare and satelite phones

[Z1pTD]

Lmao I don't know bc I'm not a gun freak sorry 😂

[Anonymous]

I don't worry about that. I figure this country will remain free, at least in my lifetime.

[KrakenAttackin]

Only a liberal woman talks like this.

[Siri137]

Really? Where I live, "liberal" means conservative. 'The Liberal Party' in this country is (relatively, compared to the 'Labour Party') right-wing.

[BLP11520]

Many of us will go down shooting

[BLP11520]

What makes a person a gun freak? How many guns makes me one?
