If you are an out MAP, or other marginalized person living in the United States, you need to arm yourself, or get out of the US.
Recently the Trump administration rounded up and deported many immigrants to a brutal prison in El Salvador, under the guise that they were gang members. Most of the people rounded up were not, in fact gang members, and have no criminal record.
In 2019, a man from Maryland named Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia was granted asylum by a Federal Court, to protect him from the gangs in El Salvador. He is married to an American citizen and has two American kids. Recently while driving his autistic, non-verbal son, he was pulled over by ICE, and disappeared without due process, to be sent to the brutal prison in the country he had fled. Later that week his wife recognized him on the news, and hired a lawyer. They sued the Trump administration, claiming Abrego Garcia was innocent and not afforded due process, and it went to the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court ruled unanimously 9 to 0 that the Trump administration must facilitate getting him out of that prison and bringing him back to the US. The Trump administration has refused.

The Supreme Court has no independent enforcement arm. If Trump doesn’t comply, there is no army to enforce their will. We are in a constitutional crisis. Now Trump wants to send US citizens, presumably those he deems as bad people to these foreign prisons, out of US Constitutional jurisdiction. They could spend the rest of their lives in a brutal prison. If they can do it to immigrants they can do it to any of us. It seems quite plausible that a MAP, even one who acts ethically and within the law could be targeted. Even more so if one is an activist.
Arm yourselves. Go buy a gun. Go buy a few guns. 3D print guns if you have to. Learn to shoot them, get comfortable with them, practice marksmanship, and stock up on ammo. You can never have too much ammo. There may come a time when we have to shoot our way out of life or death situations. But only use your gun for self-defense or defense of others.
