The hope would be to get to a place down the line where people don’t really care about whether they have the right or not.

I know that brings about thoughts like “the government is going to trick you into getting rid of your guns then they’re going to fuck you over!” But I don’t think protecting yourself from the government is really feasible at this point, arsenal or not.

The best hope would be that the military would be unwilling to kill a large amount of Americans and would turn on the hypothetical dictator.

I don’t like getting too deep into these conversations because I don’t like dreaming up hypothetical situations about the end times, but yes to MFM, and to address Dom’s point, Afghanistan and Vietnam both held off modern, advanced militaries using ships, planes, and tanks with basically armed and mostly untrained farmers.
