You will have to do a lot of evil to even get in that position. You won't do any good. What needs to happen is state governments making it legal to shoot and kill masked armed men who clearly not wearing badges nor have warrants.
It already is legal, but that is moot. Your error is only in that thinking America is a nation of laws. They're mostly past law now. At the federal level and many states it's gonzo.
People aren't safe by not doing anything wrong. People aren't safe by defending themselves legally. People aren't safe.
It is legal, but good luck getting your rights upheld in such a scenario.
That would be moot since the feds could just pick off individuals doing said actions piecemeal. What needs to be done is the creation of state militia with basically the express purpose of putting feds in the dirt. Don't even need all that great equipment to make it viable just a couple technicals and some police level personal gear would probably be more than enough. Just screen their social media for MAGA shit and put the pay at 30 dollars an hour and youd have a solid group willing to fight and kill, especially if they can stay in their home city/town.
