  The answer, then, is a homegrown guerilla force, but the ones most likely to do that are already in power

    I don’t think this will work either. If Trump pulls the insurrection card, he’ll just use drone strikes to obliterate any homegrown force. Sure, US citizens are armed up. But the arms that citizens have are meaningless when it comes to things like high altitude drones.

    I think this is what people outside of the US forget when they call for 2A people to rise up. The US government has made the second amendment relatively meaningless in regards to it’s original purpose. Kind of hard to fight back when you get vaporized from a dot in the sky.

      You really think the US military would start killing their own on the command from the president?

      From what my buddy in the US Army tells me there’s a lot of political maneouvering going on that basically circumvents a lot of shit that Elon’s stupid ass tried to force on them.

        Let’s just say that I wouldn’t be surprised if they could find some gravy seals willing to kill citizens.

      if you originally meant homegrown as in US citizens

      That was indeed what I meant, though I was being a bit facetious about the whole thing
