That is literally the idea, nobody expects to be able to stand up to the US military if they get deployed against us, but it will absolutely keep that worst-case from happening if the people leading that military realize that every house, every door they kick down, will have a shotgun pointed at the door.

As long as they know that a militarization of our domestic society will lead to a door-to-door meat grinder, they won’t commit to that approach.
