” if you don’t have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one.”
Jewish carpenter, Luke 22:36
Choices, choices - who will America choose to listen to.
That's quite a cherry picked quote from Jesus, at least in your application of it. Verse 37 explains the purpose of his statement. It was in order for another prophesy regarding the Messiah (Isaiah 53:12) to be fulfilled in him.
Jesus wasn't telling all of his followers to buy swords. Verse 38 makes that clear. When his apostles told him there were already two swords (among Jesus and the 11 faithful apostles) he told them that they would be sufficient. And then there is Matthew 26:52 that argues against your explanation of the scripture.
