Cloudflare's abuse policies and approach

I'd argue that while initially having more guns causes the probability of being raided to go up, with enough guns that starts to fall.

The police/FBI raid you because you are a threat to them. Become enough of a threat, and they will think twice about raiding you.

Of course you won't win against the military, but that becomes an issue of popular support - the BP didn't have enough political power at the time. I expect this is the reason the response to the Capitol raid was muted - As much as a military response could be justified, doing so against a reasonably well supported group would escalate the situation.

gun ownership itself doesn’t make an organization a threat to the police or fbi as is utterly evident. nor does the possession of guns itself cause organized criminalized activity to be treated with severe force, as is also utterly evident

also bear in mind the military doesn’t operate with nearly as much ease on america’s own population, when you’re comparing pig threat to movements or peoples in the US. there’s also your neighbor to worry about

This is in the context of being a targeted organisation, such as the BP.

you began the thread saying the left saves themselves from attack by de-arming themselves

You should read to the end of that sentence. I also don't consider it to apply only to the left.
