It never ceases to amaze me how the detractors of armed civilian resistance always equate conflict to a battlefield. That's not how this type of thing works. Also, tens of thousands strong? In the horrific event of armed resistance in the US you'd be talking about millions strong, even ignoring the large percentage of law enforcement and military members who would join. Since this place is what it is I'll add that I hope this day never comes, as it would be a horrific event. I'm just pointing out the utter absurdity of the Biden/Swallwell argument that the US populace stands zero chance in the case of a tyrannical government trying to impose its will.
