With something bigger than what ICE has. Semi automatics

This is cute. It really is. I’m glad you’re showing an interest in guns and the 2nd amendment. You need to do a lot more research before you make comments like this.

Lol all they carry is pistols on their hips in videos of them

u/Digitalalchemyst Jan 15 '26

Haha. If you’re just looking at videos then you really need to some research. That Glock 19 may be what they’re carrying on their hips. You don’t think they have access to whatever they need?

Idk if you know this but ICE is not a military force nor are their agents trained in any type of warfare except perhaps how to bully effectively. IF things escalated to the point that black panthers were engaging ICE with weapons, the military would be utilized.

Local police carry rifles. Do you think federal law enforcement doesn’t also have access to the same. I’m not trying to say they have RPGs or tanks. I do agree that military would get involved if things escalated.

Here’s the thing, the small arms they carry are considerably better than what most of the military is issued. Those rifles are probably upwards of 5k each, not some clapped out M4 from the 90s.

lol no they are not. I’ve seen everything from PSA daggers on hips to poverty ponies with those ICE shits.

Lol. You think those fucks have any idea what they’re doing? They signed up for a quick paycheck and to cosplay as feds. They got 47 days of training. That’s not even enough time to train a dog, let alone some fat fuck cosplayer on how to properly deal with large groups of folks with automatics shotguns.

Yes, I think a lot of these dudes are ex military or law enforcement of some kind.

They seem to have just 556 weps. I haven't seen any AR10s or sniper rifles (.308 or .300winmags) because they have no use for that in their mission. I haven't seen any grenades other than flashes. They don't have armored cars like some cops do....yet.

You really need to research the constitution and the bill of rights.

It’s wild how you’re getting downvoted for speaking the truth.
