      Serious answer, you should have gotten a gun years ago. The writing has been plastered on the wall for ages.

      Yeah, probably. There’s lots of good options, but it’s hard to go wrong with a 12-gauge shotgun.

      Edit: and as someone else said, prepare for levee en masse. Get started now, grow a garden if you have space, start guerilla gardening if you don’t, teach yourself to forage, can, and fix shit like tears in clothing. For food crops: beans. Beans beans beans beans beans. And potatoes. You’ll hate life, but you’ll be alive to hate it.

      The statistics are overwhelmingly clear; the most likely person to be killed by a gun is its owner.

      The only resistance that could stand a chance against the US army would be organized by the Canadian government, in which case they’d provide you with the weapon.

        I suspect there will be a sharp divide of the military if they were ordered to deploy within the US. And with that, probably some military hardware.

        There will be insurgent forces throughout all 50 states. And probably disconnected. It will be like hydra. A lack of organization across the entire country could be a benefit as the military would have so many groups to deal with.

        Depends on the nature of the conflict, Unless the US is willing to completely level most of Canada and much of its own northern states you’ve pretty much got Afghanistan 2.0 only now the the villagers the terrorists blend into are US citizens.
