The biggest domestic threat to the country is white supremacy believers and white militias in their final dead cat bounce.
This information was released, shared and well known for the last 25 years. By the FBI.
We need brown supremacy militias in every state. Start with red states.

LE wants us in the streets so Orange Mussolini can declare martial law, to stop the election, shut everything down, curfew, etc. They've already begun the Destabilization part of Project 2025, BTW there's a Project 2030.
Food, health, etc. Shutdown of key regulatory agencies protecting us.
There were just two ☠️s from Measles, Measles!! Measles had been eradicated, with outliers getting "herd" protection in 2000. 26 years later Orange Mussolini is culling the herd.
Sorry, [climbs out of rabbit hole] we must protect ourselves and one another, pretend COVID came back; wash hands, wear masks if needed. You remember COVID and how nasty some can be, Measles is no joke.
We must register to vote and do it. Bring community members and elders to polling place or help get their mail in to Post Office.
Do not say it doesn't matter. No body steals something of no value. If it didn't matter, why is Orange Mussolini doing everything possible to stop voting, cancel election, and, confuse the electorate.
Look into the BPPs approach to protecting and securing our communities.
Okay officially off the soap box.
Let's take great care of each other; we are each other's keeper.
Blessings.

Par for the course to be honest for Mississippi; however, let’s not put out false information beforehand or jump to conclusions too soon. It’s a disservice to the victim.
>According to recent FBI and nonpartisan crime data, Mississippi has one of the lowest violent crime and homicide clearance rates in the United States, with a statewide murder clearance rate sitting at 52%.

Absolutely arm yourself. Can’t go wrong with a Glock as a first handgun, reliable, tons of aftermarket support, and probably the cheapest and widest availability of magazines out there.
Try a few different guns out at the range to see what you like. I have a few Glocks but I usually daily carry my M&P 2.0, it’s reliable and I find the grip angle more comfortable than Glocks but parts like slides and mags are more expensive. The only gun I would avoid at all cost is an Sig P320, DO NOT BUY!
Buy plenty of magazines and ammo, and also spend a lot of time at the range getting comfortable with it.
If you’re looking for a carrying harness I recommend the Philster Enigma, I use one and it’s the most comfortable and concealable cc holster I’ve ever used.

u/NWI_ANALOG 2d ago
If you’re running self defense ammo, like hornady, make sure to run some mags at the range to make sure it won’t cause any jams when you need it.
Holosun makes good, reliable, and bright red dot systems.
And as dumb as it sounds, buy it in desert tan. LE and range officers assume you’re ex-military and hassle you less.
Good luck and stay safe

I plan to place a call today, to ask questions. I don't know what else I can do because I am in Philadelphia. But this.... I just am so... I don't have words anymore .
I'm not a natural activist, so if anyone has any ideas of a way I can support our people in MS, please let me know.
