    If these guys start messing with you on the street are you going to shoot them then and there? Really? I bet you wind up dead if you try it. I own guns myself, but I don’t see anyway that they are a solution to the political problems that we’re having, either individually or collectively?

        Then the answer is yes. I’ve made plenty of comments on the subject. I have plenty to lose, but I’m no longer young.

        For example, if ICE tries to drag my legal wife off, I am prepared to fight to the death. That’s not braggadocio. It’s a thing I’ve thought long and hard on. That’s a hill I will die on.

        How about did you defend your rights if you’re dead?

        Will your death stop them from taking the rights of others?

        Will shooting them just give an excuse to attack more unarmed people that they prefer to kidnap?

        We need organized response, not a few morons shooting back.

      Over broad question. I’ve made dozens of comments here as to what I will and will not do. And I am not ignorant of the consequences. You will also find that in those comments.
