I'm actually thinking of buying a gun, which is crazy because I've been opposed to them my whole life.

Me too. I don’t think guns are usually necessary but it seems like the US is swiftly moving towards violence against the exact demographics of people who are my friends.

If I were the government, as a contingency plan I'd have a shipping container full of weapons in every census block in the country.

Sure, we'd lose the battle, but that would make holding Canada impossible.

There's already roughly ¼ of the Canadian population that has a registered firearm. That's like. Nearly 10 million people. If half of them decided to actually go guerrilla, and a good portion of the rest of the population decided to run support. It could easily be an un-unfuckable situation for the US.

The most effective weapon in Iraq was IEDs. I would never advocate anyone learning how to make one, but if you wanted to defend yourself from an American invasion this is how the Iraqi resistance did it
