The problem with the fantasy of home invasion is that you don’t get a fifteen minute notice to pull all your guns out and bunker down like you’re a Vietcong guerrilla.
And anyone who thinks “if a cop breaks into my home, I’ll just shot them and that’ll be that” needs to learn about Ruby Ridge.
I mean, that was back during the halcyon era of prosecuting police officers who shoot civilians in their sleep. The offending officer received 11 years, 10 months, and 12 days - the jury picked the date of the shooting for the sentence - for manslaughter.
But this was back in 2022 when the Dallas PD was Woke. Can’t imagine it happening today without a gubernatorial pardon in the mix.
2a J6 Maga idolizes Ruby Ridge, and they have more in common with Terry Nichols and Tim McVeigh than they will ever admit.
The authors of project 25 I guarantee have read and probably still have copies of The Turner Diaries.
These 2a shoot first gungho maga people all definitely all over Oklahoma.
The Ruby Ridge incident (and Waco among others) served to give reactionaries a martyrdom complex. But the lessons of these incidents was “Never let a liberal become President or they’ll start treating us like we wanted to treat Rodney King”.
These 2a shoot first gungho maga people all definitely all over Oklahoma.
They were all over Idaho in 1992. That’s why Ruby Ridge happened.
But the US Marshalls didn’t give a shit about the politics of the Weavers. All they cared about was meeting an ATF arrest quota. Neither are the Oklahoma PD going to care whether the door they bust down is of a MAGA voter or a Woke Lib. They’re here to meet Trump’s demand for a million deportations, not to debate politics.
Getting in a shoot-out with the cops will automatically brand the household as Bidencrat Antifa MS-13. The local news will report the incident as a villainous ambush of brave ICE deputies. The Feds will use this as an excuse to expand the budgets of the cops and throw the wounded/killed agents a ticker-tape parade. And police will conclude they need to be even more adversarial in their household raids than they were previously.
Unless you’re going full Vietcong (which the 2a shoot first gungho maga people simply are not willing or able to do), there’s no defense to this kind of police escalation.
And all that is assuming an unwitting 50 year old with a bad back is going to be in a position to get the drop on a fully armed and armored SWAT team with state of the art surveillance.
Sure. And if you’re holding the shotgun when the first cop comes through the door, and you can get them before they get you, and you don’t mind the next thirty cops who come rolling up behind him looking for revenge, that’s great.
Right. It’s a death sentence. So if you do realize that you’re going to a camp overseas. Then it’s time to make peace with whatever God you believe in and take some with you. Because sure, you’ll get 1 or 2, but you will die that day.

Atatiana Jefferson was shot because the cops were snooping around her property. You dont even ha e to have the cops break in to get shot

Lots of people keep shotguns at their door too.

That’s better than going to Gitmo or Cecot
It’s not a discrete choice, just a power fantasy.
Death vs. imprisonment is certainly a choice.
