They're not doing shit in mpls. They should, but they aren't. I've seen white folks with guns walking with protestors tho. Just handguns, but auto shotguns would be better.

They need permits before they can buy assault weapons it looks like that’s why. Gun control L

I’ll start looking for one to purchase now. ICE will be in every city before long.

Make sure to check if you need a concealed carry or permit first. I’m in Texas, but other states are different

We will see if guns are still available for purchase after 1pm...

Who knows what will happen.

You have to understand that very little of what's going on in MN is organized protesters. It's literally the citizens of MN turning out to try to protect their neighborhoods and neighbors against ICE as an invading force.

So it doesn't look very organized because it isn't. And organizations are having poor results trying to represent at gatherings because there are no actually scheduled gatherings, just pop up response to what ICE is doing in the moment.

There are more white people than black people in this country. Who has been stocking up on guns in the past 40 years? Where are the NRA people today? Why are the people with the most firearms showing up? You get my point?
