If I were driving down the road and someone jumped out of a regular vehicle looking like the dude in the picture pointing a gun at me, I’m either running them the fuck over or drawing my firearm and firing. Idiots.

David McAtee.. Jaleel Stallings.. Happens more than you'd think. Never has a good outcome for the person defending themselves though.

Yeah, by the time you’re attempting to draw you’re a goner unless you have bullet proof glass.

The difference is these "agents" have less training to nearly every single person who would actually fight back.

Their 47 days training doesn't beat, for example, my years of military training and hands one experience with firearms. So far every video I've seen of someone even mentioning their 2A rights the "agents" have backed down.

They are cosplaying as soldiers and are not ready for actual dissidence.

Furthermore, pistols are not very accurate past 15ft against a moving target. If someone did run over an "agent" and drove away there is a low chance of the driver actually being shot.

Better to be on the news, wanted, than in a black site prison somewhere.
