in protest of police brutality = totally offensive to the troops!!!

Fantasizing about fighting a "tyrannical" US military full of those same troops = totally cool. Nothing offensive about that AT ALL.

This whole idea of having guns to defend yourself against the government is just silly. I don't care how many guns you have
you aren't going to be able to fight against the 82 Airborne, the 101st, the military drones, the Special Services, I mean it's just ridiculous to think you can. With any luck, you'll shoot yourself in the foot first.
