Honestly it's less about the armor, and more about the utter spinelessness of the population they're terrorizing. They're bold because Americans have, for a long time, been utterly pathetic. One of these days they're gonna push too far, and shit's really gonna hit the fan. A lot of these chuds are cowards at heart too, and they'll die or rout. Then it'll just be war between a population of terrified cornered animals and a small, well-equipped minority of bloodthirsty monsters.

Nobody wins. But from the rubble, there will be opportunity for significant change. Maybe it'll be positive. Maybe those of us left will be enslaved by feudal warlords. Considering the state of the left in America (essentially nonexistent) I call it a coinflip.
