Resist: It's Time

We are still in this together, but "this" is going to be real different in the very near future. This demands a different kind of "we."

The French Resistance during Nazi occupation played important roles delivering downed Allied airmen back to safety, supplying military intelligence, and acts of sabotage.

The Underground Railroad is estimated to have brought 100,000 freedom seekers to safety between 1810 and 1850.

It's time.

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.

I think a good option if they live close enough, would be to participate in a 2-gun Desert Brutality match, which is run by Karl Kassarda of InRangeTV, a longtime Anarchist.

Those brutality matches were copied in Ukrainian boot camps, where they reported it was the closest representation of combat conditions they had experienced, and overall the most useful firearm training they did.

Also, most of these questions will be answered by watching InRangeTV. I hesitate to unilaterally endorse the output of specific people, but Karl seems to be a genuinely good person who truly cares about leftist values and you could pick far worse places to increase your knowledge about firearms.

I am physically disabled and wouldn't be capable of doing so, but thank you for sharing that information. Hopefully it has inspired somebody else.
