Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

And they won't be.
Back in the day of bolt actions and single aimed shots? Yeah. Training matters a lot.
In the era of semi automatic rifles with high capacity magazines? Just aim at a crowd and squeeze a few times and you'll get a couple kids.
Let's break down the Call of Duty wank fantasy, shall we?
Again. Maybe we should discuss reality and not just thank Rambo for his service before he draws first blood for the fifteenth time?
The military aspect of this doesn't make much of a safety difference because of all the other horrifically stupid decisions this country has made over the past century or so. What matters are that people are losing their homes. And maybe, just maybe, we should think about why one class of people get basically UBI but the rest of the country doesn't.
You've obviously never served in the military. The things I know how to do as a guerrilla should be very worrying to any government.
Strategy is a basic tool taught to all soldiers from front lines to generals. The difference is only in scale of operation for higher ranks. You'd have all ranks in a veteran army so this isn't really a problem anyways. You need generals and grunts in a guerrilla situation.
Explosives training that I have is for improvised explosives. I don't need c4 to be a threat.
Communications training that we have makes it easier for us to escape detection by normal wiretapping and signals interception.
Logistics would be more that we know what things are important in a battle and what things aren't. People who haven't been to war don't know what they need.
As for opsec we all learn it, but that doesn't mean everyone will follow it all the time. A few percent of idiots exist in all jobs, not just the military so you're always going to have leaks. But as long as you're cracking down on it in a guerrilla operation you should be fine. Just make sure you have cells that don't know everyone else in other cells and you'll be ok for an operation or two.
This is all just off the top of my head after having been out for more than a decade. In a real situation you'd have a bunch of veterans getting back into the flow of operating militarily and that would be very very bad for the government since we would bounce ideas off each other.
