Not sure if listing the exact details are allowed for this community, but for starters, it is far easier to acquire explosive or lethally dangerous chemical compounds that do not give a shit about level IIIa plates or soft armor, especially with enough fragmentation or corrosion. It is also relatively simple to create an electronic or fuse system for both methods, or to use an “Semi-autonomous/RC delivery system” to avoid personal bodily harm, as a civilian with minimal barriers or oversight.
Additionally, a neighborhood whose residents trust one another and are willing to come to action are a significant barrier to any individual person being raided - difficult to stack all angles with one team if nobody on the block is going to be a bystander.
But I think that is the problem. Are you the people on you block willing to defend you and yours? Are you willing to defend them when they are being raided? These are hard questions people need to ask themselves. Think about how this shit went down in Germany in the 30s.
Right? We can seemingly barely scrape together communities to merely watch and report on ice movements, much less gather enough who are willing to throw away their lives by shooting at them.
Imagine even getting people to get rid of the automatic devices that track you everywhere in your neighborhood (ring cameras, helloooo, and now the flock cameras and similar license plate readers that the government has had everywhere for years before that).
That is indeed variable, I’ll concede that. The initiative for communities to band together has to start before effective deterrence is established.
However, you are not out of options when forced to confront armored agents with just your family or on your lonesome. That’s what I’m trying to underscore, so individuals can become crafty and observant, rather than just embracing despair.
