That's wrong. You can kill several cops who were only doing their job but you cannot win against army forces. You cannot defend your rights from government with a weapon.

The weapon in USA (especially long range weapon like rifles) is mostly useful for mass shootings.

The US army are nearly losing two wars to people with small arms and IEDs.

So, ya, isn't this post about making terrorism illegal? I feel like we've come full circle at this post.

This whole subthread is about states being heavyhanded and our options in responding.

Also, terrorism is kind of illegal already.

In a thread about prosecuting people for watching terrorism videos, we have gone on about how the 2nd amendment gives Americans the tools to fight against the therapy of their government, and then it was pointed out the USA military is much better armed than civilians can be. Finally, the comment was made that the military could be faught with ambushes and IEDs, probably just as explained in those terrorism videos.

I just think it is really ironic.

Exactly, do people even engage in critical thought or is all their thinking done for them via identity politics and media.

Please see my comment in response to TheSpiceIsLife.

Of course you are correct that any one individual person could not effectively defend their home against a more well armed government dedicated to defeating them, but that in no way refutes my point.

If there will be a group of armed people actively opposing government agents, then it will become a band of criminals. And if there will be larger united group of people (a whole state or region for example) then there will be a civil war.
