and I believe I sad it in reply to you, if I'm not mistaken. Buy a gun, and learn how to safely and effectively use it. Before you can't. And not a fucking "Hollywood Cowboy" gun like a 9mm pistol. They're fine for home defense but they will just get you killed if (or when) shit hits the fan. I recommend a lever action 30-30 carbine for a lot of practical and economic reasons, which I will not elaborate on unless you ask. If you detest guns and things go well, you can sell it to a sportsman or, destroy it. These American Nazis are as serious as a heart attack. They have been waiting (and planning) 90 years for this and have blown past so many "red lines" that for them to retreat now will mean life in prison, or even death, for the major perpetrators. They can't stop now and, they know it. So basically, in my humble opinion, singing "We Shall Overcome", is not going to cut it this time...
