While I don’t expect or hope to ever need it, as an American, I would like to be prepared to resist as much as necessary if needed. It’s looking like it might be needed at some point here.
I’m looking to get a rifle or two for that specific purpose just in case. Can anyone recommend specific brands/models and/or features I should be looking for? I’m disabled in a way that limits my ability to hold anything heavy, so lighter weight is good. I have a revolver, but that’s probably not the best for standing up against a repressive regime.
I plan to train with whatever I get, of course. Thanks in advance.
Edit: There way too much information here for me to reply to it all individually, but I would like to say thank you to everyone for your very helpful responses.
As a Canadian, likely to receive your invasion, can I interest you in some of the fine offerings from the Nerf family of fine rifles and pistols?
It is highly unlikely that American soldiers could largely be convinced to attack Canadians. We hardly even see you as foreign.
I wish I had your confidence! Didn’t a bunch of Michigan rednecks kidnap their own governor? I worry that same mentality will become a risk as Mr Trump’s bluster increases in volume and phlegm.
What if we started broadcasting some friendly games of lacrosse? If those aren’t violent enough, we can broadcast some UNfriendly matches in our national sport too. Would that frighten Y’all Qaeda with a show of brutality?
Can we leaflet bomb with something like “join us! Bring your own province! We have socialized healthcare and cookies!”
Spitballin’ here.
You have to keep in mind that members of the military are not dramatically pro Trump. They are politically a mixed bag and the people at the top are largely very conservative (the actual meaning of the word conservative, not what we have going on in our Republican party right now). Only a minority would have any interest in attacking Canada no matter how much Trump tries to get people worked up about the idea.
