I would propose a “Million Gun March” on Washington.

I agree with that. It's time that We The People showed the feral government our 'liberty teeth'.

What will happen if you do that is that someone will start shooting and then people will shoot back and the Mall will run with blood. At the end that "person who started shooting" will be dead, and will have a long history as a gun-rights, white nationalist or right-wing activism.

The evidence that he actually kicked off the shooting will be sketchy, at best, but it will be all that they need to go after guns with a vengeance.

Most self defense trainers will tell you that you should not draw your gun in a confrontation unless you are going to use it, and you should not be ready to use it unless you understand the consequences, and it's necessary to protect life and limb.

I think the same rules go for armed marches. There is just too much waiting to go wrong, either unintentionally, or intentionally as a false flag. Either way: We Lose.

If you had 1 million armed men willing to march on Washington, why would you limit yourself to a protest? It's obvious that the Swamp isn't going to drain itself, so you might as well use the power you have assembled at that point to seize power and make the changes directly.

Theoretically speaking.

Perhaps - perhaps not. I personally think that armed patriots would be extraordinarily reserved in such a scenario, and that there wouldn't be any acts of violence.

Every single marcher would be acutely aware of the high stakes involved, and would likely do anything to avoid a sparking a violent confrontation between the rally goers and the authorities. It would be a tense atmosphere for all concerned, but that's sort of the point.

No one is suggesting that we go to DC and harm anyone, but we've got to recognize that our government is long past the point of listening to us. We must show them that we mean business in some way. I can't think of a better way to get their attention than an armed march.

I suggest we show up without mags or ammo - this time - just to make the point..
