I’ll let you in on a secret, The Second Amendment is a universal human right. That document doesn’t grant us the power to defend ourselves, we as humans have that anyway. It’s up to the individual to either exercise that human right or curl up and take whatever their oppressors throw at them. Self defense should never be viewed as a privilege. If a government is going to throw you in jail for defending your life, then don’t get caught.
If the SHTF happens down there then you can use the tactics the few Jews used in the Warsaw gehtto uprising. If your dead anyway then make them earn it the hard way, because we all will die sometime, why let them determine how?
