An armed citizenry ready and prepared to defend its rights would be an intolerable threat to the regime.

I think theres merit to both statements.
Indeed,if the citizenry remains armed the Left has zero chance of taking over. Much of Antifa and other rioters and lootersconsists of white, elite college students. At the moment theyre having a jolly good time. However, if the shooting should start these spoiled idiot will run for home in a New York minute. Theyve got no stomach for a firefight.
Shooting? I expect the Portland mob to disperse once the rain starts. Its looking like Ted Wheeler and Kate Brown may let it continue that long.

If ammunition is available. That will be the key. Where are the ammunition plants? What are their supply chains? Where are the ammunition raw materials sourced? How are the ammunition companies financed? Can they be strangled if financing from Wall Street is cut off?
