Turns out all you need is a Supreme Court majority on your side and you can wipe your ass with the Constitution.

What these dumbasses (the ICE officers) aren't realizing is that this fascist administration wants these "agents" to get killed for stepping into the wrong house so they can use it as further justification for excessive force. Every ICE agent with boots on the ground is just a sacrificial lamb for their (the fascist regime's) racist agenda.

Edit: Added clarifications in parentheses.

Also, believe it or not, not every American owns a gun. The majority of those that do, own rifles intended for hunting or small handguns. Not weapons intended for military conflict. My SKS might deter a burglar, but it's just going to encourage a cadre of ICE agents to come in shooting.

Oh my fucking god... Every comment in this stupid thread is saying the same stupid thing. "Time to get your guns...", "Exercise your 2nd amendment... " Yeah, that's hilarious tough guy. Do you have a gun? No? well do you have a gun license? No? Well do you know the first thing about firearms? You do! Oh you've played several call of duty games... Awesome. Do you know that you're statistically more likely to shoot a family member than a home intruder? Well I hope you don't like them much.

Ok, moving past the idiotic bravado... It sounds like you have no solution for people who aren't just itching to murder other people. Say for instance, that I have no interest in shooting someone, and in fact feel that a civil society should not involve shooting anyone, especially fellow countrymen. With that in mind, for the sane perhaps 70% of Americans, do you have any useful advice besides "get a gun"?

Finally, if your plan does work and every American arms themselves, then congratulations, we've fallen into civil war 2. Now what? Even if you do have guns, the government has bigger ones and they have munitions you don't. You will always, always be outgunned by the military. Now being armed makes you a hostile combatant/terrorist agent in the eyes of the law, anything you do with it will be deemed illegal. Some good that 2nd amendment is doing you. What's your plan now?
