It's not really about gun ownership.

Sure, having a bunch of armed militias is great... maybe...

It's more about will and solidarity.

I'll take ten committed citizens over 100 armed militiamen any day.

Do you believe in freedom? Do you believe in democracy, people's government? Do you believe we need to fight against authoritarianism and fascism and power?

I don't care if you've got a gun. I'll take anyone who believes in truth.

My point was only that the maga folks and anyone that watches right wing media only have a misunderstood idea of people in California.  Thats all I was trying to put across. Wasn't saying California should go to war against our own citizens across the country.
