    No they pretty much just taught us how to kill shit. In all seriousness, do you honestly believe that’s the case? That the US federal government is deterred by an armed public? Because I don’t think they give a shit, at all.

      I mean, with all the armor and shit they wear and the flashbangs and the speedy sweep through a building, it sure seems to me like they’re very conscious of the danger of going to get someone.

      It takes a lot more work and preparation to go grab a US citizen than it does to go grab a pig. A farmer wants a particular pig he isn’t putting on armor and tossing flashbangs and going in with backup.

      Yes, I think the federal government is deterred by an armed public. They don’t just casually fuck with people, like that military government in Myanmar fucked with its people. It’s a big deal for them, a costly affair, to go up against a house that might have guns in it, and they don’t take it lightly.
