The National Guard, The Pentagon, the majority of Police Departments. They might be more authoritarian than your average US Leftist, but at least they don’t want to start all over to establish their Rule of Law. Even Trump’s generals looked down on him. If you want to do your part in a potential US Civil War then owning a gun to protect your homestead might help but the best thing you can do is report the right wing extremists as you see them. If you even hear word of any sort of encampment or compound, submit an anonymous tip to the FBI, you can expect a specialized task force to deal with it pretty quickly.
Does everyone already have their guns, boots, and beans?
Nows the time, get a couple guns (a long one and a short one) and learn how to use them. Learn some basic first aid, you really just need to know how to stabilize someone. Start networking with like-minded people in your community. The police will not protect us, they’ll happily club a senior citizen to the ground and shoot you in the face with a rubber bullet.
If a MAGAt caravan comes rolling through your (or your friends) neighborhood with bad intentions you don’t want to be caught lacking.
Each person should assess their needs and prepare appropriately. Maybe a person wants one general purpose gun. Someone else might want a very long range rifle with a small sidearm as backup.
Frankly getting bogged down in the minutiae immediately (and talking gun control of all things) is being unable to see the forest for the trees and really emblematic of why “the left” can’t get anything done. You don’t want two guns that’s great don’t get two it’s not a difficult concept. In case you missed the point your protection is on you so prepare accordingly.
It’s like you’ve never actually fired a gun. Do you think shooting something 100 yards away is the same as shooting something 4 foot away?
I can see you don’t like guns and that’s fine, that means my comment was clearly not meant for you but for people who are willing to defend themselves when the worst case scenario becomes reality. Maybe you’d feel differently if you had a family to protect, but maybe you’d just equivocate and “ackshually” while they carted your trans kid off. I don’t know and don’t really care tbh, the post was for those paying attention. Have a nice day.
Just for my info… any moderate militias out there? Purely informative of course.

I don’t want to be in this timeline. Plus 6 months from now when Trump wins and orders assassinations with SCOTUS immunity.
I feel that.

I don’t think multiple guns per person are necessary tbh. Increases risk of them falling into the wrong hands and other accidents.

Yeah that sidearm totally necessary for in case the enemy is exactly 25 inches away which is a shorter distance than your 26 inch rifle. /sarcasm
