People tend to buy guns and then do nothing. Buying the gun makes them feel safe and like they have done something. “When they come for me I’ll be prepared.”

When they come for you, it’s already too late. Earlier, far less dangerous, far less provocative, far less illegal (but still illegal) acts of resistance are far superior in what they achieve. Become active to protect the people they go to before they come for you, or else there will be no one left to protect you when they come for you.

Build community, waste their time, waste their resources, make their operations impossible not through armed resistance but through simpler, less flashy means.

They will try to sue you, jail you, hurt you, maybe even kill you… but that’s part of the plan anyway, better to resist while the actions you can do still have an impact.

This is not a plea against guns, but for action (even simple and small actions).
