    The point of an armed populace isn’t to take on the military. It’s to make every citizen a potential threat to those in power. The more you piss off the population, the greater the danger of some rando slipping through the cracks.

    We just saw how much one random dude with a gun can scare the shit out of corporate America by killing an insurance executive that nonlbody had even heard of. Imagine what a million Luigis could do.

      Luigi was a different matter, as he was attacking, not defending. But I sure wouldn’t mind if others decided that the ultra wealthy need to learn some more lessons in humility.
