> it certainly belongs in the hands of citizens to defend themselves against corporations and governments.
this strategy is only employed by one country in the planet.
the goverment used illegal funds to start a paramilitary border police that has murdered multiple legal citizens on camera. No ICE agent has been shot by anyone defending themselves against goverment overreach
Companies like Flock have deployed swarms of survaillance with no civillian uprising, companies like Palantir and Meta are openly in bed with the goverment while they pass patents like "facial recognition in all their glasses and its not opt out"
That country even saw a bunch of insurrectionists enter its capitol and the traitors werent shot on sight by patriots.
Idk man, the whole "we need guns to defend ourselves" doesnt seem to work when morons crave the boot in their neck more than freedom. It mostly seems to just escalate minor disagreements, facilitate self harm, and making schools into increasingly dangerous institutions for children. I guess it also gives insecure men an incredibly dangerous tool to try and hide their feelings of irrelevance.
Maybe therapy is cheaper than an AR-15 to hide the fact that 50% of the population cant read at a 6th grade level and feel dumb, scared and unimportant
¿Por qué no los dos? "We deem those happy who, from the experience of life, have learned to bear its ills without being overcome by them."

If you must remain in the jurisdiction, manage your risk with the tools available to you. If you do not want to remain, leaving is an option. Do what is best for you. "It is what it is."
Bugdet and also because convincing idiots with guns to go see an expert who is going to trigger their fear of irrelevance is a quick way to get them to use that gun, either on the therapist or themselves.
> If you must remain in the jurisdiction, manage your risk with the tools available to you.
Great quote to support my initial point. The jurisdiction is the country and the tool availeble is the prohibition of guns.
Thus managing the provable increased risk of death against the unrealised potential of civilian uprising to fascism. Which came with claps and no shots
