Armed minorities are harder to oppress.
organized armed minorities make politicians afraid.
Honestly the biggest problem with being left and armed, is finding other people with similar views to organize with. Specifically because we don't advertise and make it half of our entire personality (usually).
Non-uniformed chucklefucks claiming to be law enforcement while acting like gang members and thugs, getting ready to break into a house?
Sounds like a good time for armed resistance to arrest the clearly illegal kidnapping or robbery. If they are armed and make any move toward weapons, there is only one response. Defend your life, and defend the victims, with all the force necessary to do so.
I actually think ICE WANTS this to happen so they can justify being even harsher or just straight up executing people in the street. It's not like law enforcement hasn't executed someone in front of dozens of witnesses while being recorded...
