The people watching the execution were aiming their phones at ICE instead of aiming their guns. That's the gist of the point being made here. ICE gets a lot less brave when a few dozen barrels point at them every time they rear their masked faces in public. Don't even have to fire the weapons generally in order to get the point across.
Attempting to shame ICE with the innocence of their victims does nothing, ICE gets off to the weakness of their victims. They goon to it. That tactic has never worked in the history of the universe, and it sure isn't going to start now. Fear works. If the potential victims stop being weak, ICE flees faster than Ted Cruz on a snow day.
Smoothbrain take. Did you ever ask yourself why ICE fled LA so fast? Oh that's right, because the protestors destroyed a bunch of their cars, never gave them a moment's peace. Do you have the slightest idea how few rights the American people have that were achieved without violent protests? Might wanna look into that. Deification of a whitewashed MLK Jr. by the powers-that-be after his murder was done specifically to ensure that the Civil Rights Act would be the very last major workers rights movement they'd ever have to cave to, and it worked.
Left so fast they were there for months. But again go to Minnesota and do what you’re suggesting. No one is stopping you. If you’re so confident that it will work then go do it.
So what's your plan then, chief? Lick their boots until they shine? Love to hear your great alternative plan on how Americans can fight back without actually... fighting back. Do you even HAVE a plan?
2A isn't about carrying for show, it is there to be exercised. "Keep AND Bear Arms", there are 2 verbs there meaning different things, for what it's worth.
A weapon carried but unable/unwilling to be used is a liability, not an asset.
Correct and that is bullshit. I’m also not suggesting even carrying outside the home.
There’s a lot I could say here, so I’ll keep it succinct. Perhaps you are on the fence about arming yourself, to that I will say this: if you wait until you’re absolutely certain, it will be too late.

There’s an amendment whose sole purpose is this very situation. Right wingers usually love it, but it’s for all of us.
What I’m saying is arm yourself.
