There's a difference between justified risks and unjustified risks. If you show up to one of these statues with a gun, you're not only placing yourself at unnecessary risk, you're putting yourself in a position where you do your people zero good and potentially great harm. https://twitter.com/Bettert54322196/status/1274458921726590976

There's tons of impulse to "do something" without thinking it through. It almost always ends in disaster. What's the endgame for showing up with a gun? If they pull the statue down how are you going to stop the mob? If they don't stop will you shoot them? What happens next?

None of the conditions found in historical successful guerilla movements are present in America. Even if they were, succession/violent insurrection typically depends on heavy support from another great power (American LARPers do not have this).

Talk about the Boogaloo or whatever cringe violent fantasies people entertain these days is just an escape from doing something actively productive. There are many ways to improve your position and that of white people that don't involved getting killed or going to jail for life.
