I'd argue that while initially having more guns causes the probability of being raided to go up, with enough guns that starts to fall. The police/FBI raid you

The police/FBI raid you because you are a threat to them. Become enough of a threat, and they will think twice about raiding you.
Of course you won't win against the military, but that becomes an issue of popular support - the BP didn't have enough political power at the time. I expect this is the reason the response to the Capitol raid was muted - As much as a military response could be justified, doing so against a reasonably well supported group would escalate the situation.
- wahnfrieden 4y agogun ownership itself doesn’t make an organization a threat to the police or fbi as is utterly evident. nor does the possession of guns itself cause organized criminalized activity to be treated with severe force, as is also utterly evident also bear in mind the military doesn’t operate with nearly as much ease on america’s own population, when you’re comparing pig threat to movements or peoples in the US. there’s also your neighbor to worry about
- Chris2048 4y agoThis is in the context of being a targeted organisation, such as the BP.
- wahnfrieden 4y agopretty sus to tell dissidents they should all disarm to protect themselves
- Chris2048 4y agomaybe, but what has that got to do with this thread?
- wahnfrieden 4y agoyou began the thread saying the left saves themselves from attack by de-arming themselves
- Chris2048 4y agoYou should read to the end of that sentence. I also don't consider it to apply only to the left.
- wahnfrieden 4y agogot it sorry had your next BP comment as thread root
