So, if the perpetrators are masked, and in unmarked cars with no identification, can you shoot them claiming you were being kidnapped?

Legally yes. Realistically the law means absolutely nothing these days and you will just be murdered while Republicans cheer your death.

Yes, they will propably outnumber and outgun you, so the notion that you can "just shoot them" is a naive fiction. Also, they are not going to warn you, but will jumping you at some random moment where you dont expect it and you will be handcuffed before you have time to react.

This is not an action movie where the hero can just fight 10 bad guys and win at any time.

Dude, people already understand that. Very few people are thinking they are going to draw on 10 cops and come out on top. People are just tired of being oppressed and some prefer the idea that maybe they can get a couple of shots off and maybe kill a facist or two before they die, rather than let them kidnap you and send you to a prison to be tortured without any trial, evidence, or even allegations of any crime.

In that case it doesnt really matter whether or not you can legally claim you thought they were kidnapping you. Because you will be dead.

Yea, that is the reason I said that exact thing in my comment about how realistically you will just be dead.

Start rounding up innocent Americans and watch what happens throughout the country. The protests will be so huge throughout every state and the media coverage so extensive that even the Republicans won't be able to avoid the fallout. Numerous Federal injunctions and lawsuits would flood the system as a violation of First Amendment rights would proliferate throughout the courts. Americans are not sheep facing the "Brown Shirts" without resistance, they would fight back with their lives. If it ever got as bad as Reich predicts, we would see a civil war.

Dude, they have been taking innocent Americans and there have been protests, and the media is helping the government downplay it. Americans are barely fighting back at all.

Guess we better just bend over for the illegal authoritarian regime. They’re scary and they have guns after all. It’s the sensible thing to do. It’s how this country was founded, oh wait
