They don't shoot first.
We really need to work on that. But, irresponsibility and violence is not a them vs us problem. Stockpile guns and there’s still the potential that no matter how just your cause, when you use them innocents will get caught in the crossfire. So, what’s your angle? Do you want American workers to disarm or do you want American workers to take up arms against fascism?
So they just sit on the gun for no purpose? Last i checked the worker is extra fucked right now, while ICE is often defeated not with gun, but continuously harassment from the public. Last i checked Charlie Kirk aren't killed by some frustrated worker.
There's something that most resistance groups know about that is called "winning the narrative". If you open fire first, it's easier for the government to justify cracking down on you as a "violent terrorist".
Yeah the narrative NRA wrote.
I'm sure you'll be able to win against full-blown fascism with strongly worded letters. Ask Neville Chamberlain to know how that went.
In the mean time the fact remain that people with gun took no action against their facist government who cause suffering within the country and globally, while people without gun able to drive off ICE without violence. Maybe the narrative here is to wait till the current facist government turn nazi then they claim to be hero idk.
