I think this is directed at the right

If the government comes for me, they're bringing more people than I can shoot. The first answer to that, is to prevent that from happening through political action. The second is that you don't respond to that with a gun.

Everyone on Ruby ridge was armed, everyone in Waco was armed. They're all dead for their troubles. A gun won't fix that problem.

It's not about the reality of defending yourself from tyranny with homicide. It's about the psychological comfort that the warped fantasy brings.
