      Well, I recently bought two guns and tons of ammo in preparation.

      So have a few friends of mine in the last few months. And I know we aren’t the only ones.

      If this administration wants a war, they’ll get it, but they will not win.

        i’ve been armed for a long fucking time, but not because i want to start the fucking revolution. I’ve been armed because you can’t depend on the police for jack shit. it just felt like common sense.

        Buying a gun does not make you a warrior. How much do you train?

        I shot around 20000 rounds a year, and would not want to go up against a trained armed force.

      California didn’t accidentally become wealthy. Lots of smart & capable people there, albeit with much to lose.

      They’ll reasonably try to keep a lid on things, but there’s a line not too far from where Californians have currently gotten pushed to.
