    So… spend months getting a system in place to evaluate potential militia members and a year training them so that they are less likely to kill each other every time they reach for the gun they left in the backseat.

    Yeah, I am sure trump and the christofacists will wait for that. “Give us a year and we’ll put a stop to you! Okay, maybe two”.

    Also, that is still a state run militia and it still becomes a civil war.

        Exactly. If Governors/state legislatures authorize force use of force in one way or another to stand up to them we might actually see some effective resistance.

        I am sick of these “so do something” comments when everybody knows that if you aren’t executed by ice you will be arrested by your local PD, prosecuted and likely go to jail. Basically asking people to throw their life away to maybe take out a couple of immigration officers out of like 20k. That’s not resistance, that’s stupidity.

          Forming second amendment militias is literally a right we have and we better get to it. The presence might bring decorum and and end to this terrorist group rampaging through our streets.

        That is a different question. There are plenty of things that can, and can’t be done to fight back. And… maybe those are the kinds of conversations to have with local community organizers rather than strangers on social media?

        But just because you want to do something doesn’t mean what you want to do is at all a good idea or will serve any purpose.

          I strongly disagree and I think state backed militias should be formed. I also find your tone very condescending
