Isn’t that the reason why you all have guns at home?
So, lets entertain this train of thought a moment. The ICE agent drops his gun and, embarrassed, drops to the ground and points the gun at bystanders (according to OP at least). A bystander pulls a gun on the officer in defense and fires. The ICE guy on the ground gets hit but not before firing off several rounds. By this point the rest of the goon squad have pulled their guns and begin firing on the crowd because they don’t know where the shots originated from. Now you have a wounded/killed agent and a whole group of innocent people got gunned down in response. Taking it further, Trump uses this as proof that martial law needs to be enacted officially and not just the illegal ways he’s doing it now.
Maybe that’s what its going to take? IDK. I do think you’re right in principle, but shits complicated.
At leas t with Marshall law you will finally understand the severity and maybe fight back instead of just saying things like, “if we do something it’ll be bad”, every single time, until there is no one to fight back and nothing left to fight for and you can enjoy the full force of a technofascist state anyway.
Opening fire in public is a very particular type of “something“
Kimmel didn’t get back on the air thanks to shooters, it was loud noise (and louder money). Also I’m not sure how to ask without seeming like I’m egging you on but are you making recommendations that you yourself are comfortable following? I would understand your argument better if you were an armed leader of group trying to convince others they need to be you doing the same as you, but if you’re posting here then you’re probably not in jail so it seems like you’re encouraging others to get themselves embroiled in gun fights/arrested safely behind a QWERTY layout.
btw this situation is incredibly upsetting and I know your heart is in the right place—we want justice. If I read too much into your comment I’ll leave it here for others who suggest firing at authorities who may have not thought it through all the way, & hope you can see where I’m coming from when you look at the parent comment and then yours.
That’s the reason everyone says they have guns. If you have a map I can go into detail on what that translates to.
The 2nd Amendment is for when all the other Amendments fail.
Technically, the 2A is primarily for when foreign armies invade and secondarily for when other Amendments fail.
1A says you try and protest to protect all your other rights. 2A says 1A didn’t work so they about to FO.
Most of those left-of-center do not have guns. That’s the problem.
