plus no matter how righteous your cause may be the state has the monopoly on violence, at least legitimacy of it. Hence all oppressive govs want violent uprisings. They are weak against peaceful protests but the moment violence is in play the whole world lines up to support the “legitimate” violence. See recent history of Israel, Turkey, Russia, SA, UK, Spain, China etc.
You keep talking about govt tyranny I keep talking about not being shot in your home. I pointed out in no uncertain terms that govt tyranny is not the most significant part of the equation for me or most americans who have guns. So not sure why you keep focusing on that.
Regardless i really dont care who sides with who in such a scenario. I care about being able to survive when people try to kill me
As for palestine, I garuntee you if they didnt have any guns and were limited to just home made rockets and bombs they would have been eliminated much much sooner.
And Rittenhouses will always walk free.
Good, people defending their life from a mob trying to kill them should walk free. I dont like Ritenhouse as a person, but legally it was the right decision.
