No, plenty of us believe it. I didn't recently purchase 10+ different guns and a ton of ammo because I think things will work out.

Unfortunately, more people think diplomacy and peaceful protest and waiting until the next time to vote will be enough.

It's fucking dumb.

If my plan to leave the US permanently fails, I'm prepared for literal civil war.

10+ guns sounds pretty dumb ngl, 2-3 is fine. rest is better spent helping build some kind of network of support with your local neighborhood.

Guns are pretty stupid. You're building a society of individualism, distrust and violence. Not one where a decent human being would live happily.
