I’m not understanding how somebody in a mask who isn’t presenting a badge can brandish a gun and shove somebody on their property without themselves being shot.
yeah. still waiting on the 2A crowd to enforce their anti tyranny claims.
Ice are the 2A crowd
And they see the entirety of the US as their property to enforce their 2A rights on
This is why the left needs to get armed. You disarmed yourself while the right wing continued to buy arms and now your "surprise Pikachu face" that the right is not stopping this...what logic are you trying to lay here?
The last time the left got armed the police bombed the building in Philadelphia, in 1985. The police and ICE are way more violent now, so I'd wager it would happen again. With ICE's new budget I assume we'll see armored carriers and tanks rolling around sometime next year.
Not a reason to not arm yourself. You're just proving why you should be armed.
The left is armed. Lots of us own firearms; we're just quiet about it because we don't make guns our whole identity because we're not fragile man children.
Trust me, right now there is not an appetite for violence. If things keep getting worse sooner or later we will hear more about ICE getting killed. Probably in a year or less since they're expanding the American Gestapo.
The left owns a tiny fraction of the firearms in civ hands. This isn't some dig at the left. It should be a wakeup call. I'm sure plenty have me tagged here as 2A nut job because I bring it up when shit like this shows up in the news. I'm strongly on the left and I know a lot of other left leaning people, almost all of them are anti-2a/anti-gun.

The left... isn't armed. It's completely outgunned.
If possession of an unlicensed suppressor can be legally considered attempted murder, I didn't see how showing up armed, concealing one's identity, brandishing firearms, and physically assaulting people (with the threat of said firearms) is not. States need to start trying all of these nazis.
I guess some people are not in the "I will die but I'm taking you with me" mindset all the time.
