Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link.

I find it important to dogpile and emphasize your point on the importance of organizing. I hope my echoing your message makes it louder to everyone.
The second amendment doesn't mean shit if you don't get some fucking friends and organize. Dropped some feds trying to unlawfully break into your home because you have the right to defend yourself in your own home? Neat, you're a target now. Have a support network of people? You can relocate quickly, you have places to hide while the initial heat dies down, you have greater access to acquisition of legal council, you have help with cleanup, you have that many more voices to speak out on your behalf for media coverage and legal defense, you have more places to reliably keep your pets and kids safe, and if/when it really comes down to it, you have more guns to point toward your oppressors with multiplied efficiency. People tend to neglect to consider what to do in the aftermath in these situations, and the answer, like literally every other political scenario, is to have some fucking friends in the first place.
Guns or no, the most important thing is always to have a community. There is not a single scenario where gun ownership is more important than securing and cultivating a community. Guns, much like food, water, shelter, other tools, cars, medical supplies, etc is just one of the words that come after "community and". For any political movement or even just plain survival, community is NOT optional. Go make some fucking friends. Go network. Go organize. It has been and always will be step one.
