Definitely important to know how to use them comfortably and even have one at home but I don't think a gun is gonna help when you get swarmed by feds on your own.

If a group got together and organized armed volunteer defense groups that patrolled areas most at risk, that could deter individual kidnappings, but knowing where they will strike is challenging even if you had people organized in the area already.

It would definitely be a worthwhile organizing project, along with other decolonization/survival programs.

Even when organized into a small commune, the feds will just raid and/or bomb you if they want you enough. But it is a lot more work for them, so this would be an escalation that overall works in our favor over time.

What we really need is entire communities ejecting feds and dearresting. But that requires a much greater level of organization.

Yes it's true, robust and widespread organizing is the only potentially successful strategy. Another user pointed out that even having a registered firearm and being associated with anti Zionism or whatever else they don't like could put a target on you. I am strongly in favor of being armed in the US but under the current climate, it could invite extra scrutiny and/or surveillance

I would simply acquire a non-registered firearm
