Can't wait till people start shooting ICE and the police on sight because they were pushed too far.

[-] Jerb322@lemmy.world 65 points 3 months ago

I'm genuinely surprised it hasn't happened yet. They're probably staying out of the most sketchy neighborhoods.

[-] catloaf@lemm.ee 33 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

This is exactly it. They're specifically targeting people they know can't or won't fight back, like literal kids with cancer.

[-] peregrin5@lemm.ee 26 points 3 months ago

The best way is if everyone arms themselves. Then if the incident happens, several people shoot and immediately run. Plan your escape before shooting.

It really seems like they're hitting blue states hardest and where gun ownership is less common.

[-] WizardofFrobozz@lemmy.ca 6 points 3 months ago

It’s almost like the “left” in the US shouldn’t have leaned on anti-2nd amendment rhetoric for 30 years.

[-] tonywu@lemmy.world 11 points 3 months ago

2nd amendment doesn’t mean everyone should be allowed to own an automatic rifle. There is nuance here, please think.

[-] WizardofFrobozz@lemmy.ca 11 points 3 months ago

I am not playing games when I say that I wish more American leftists owned automatic rifles.

[-] princessnorah 2 points 2 months ago

You do realise that automatic rifle ownership by civilians is incredibly illegal in the US, right? And has been for almost 100 years... An AR-15 is not an automatic rifle.

[-] WizardofFrobozz@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 months ago

Right. So gun laws in the states are either too restrictive or poorly written.

Christ. At this point, US liberals deserve whatever’s coming. Good luck.

[-] princessnorah 1 points 2 months ago

Are you calling me one? I'm an Australian socalist/greens voter 😂

[-] WizardofFrobozz@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 months ago

I’m saying you’re helping with their messaging, at least

[-] princessnorah 1 points 2 months ago

By doing what? You said something that didn't make sense, and I questioned it.

But if you wanted to get into the whole anti-2nd amendment stuff, well, I'm glad we have stricter laws here. I never had to fear dying from a shooting in high school, I never had to go through metal detectors, or deal with cops on campus. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[-] Cethin@lemmy.zip 6 points 2 months ago

I know you said rhetoric, not actual 2A, but I will continue to say this every time I see it, this is not what 2A is for. It's clearly for militias defending the state against an enemy army. It's been mutilated into self defence stuff, but there's nothing even approaching that there.

However, 9A does protect this right, since it has long been held by the people. Regardless, the reasoning doesn't matter. People should be armed and train in operation and safe handling/storage/maintenance of their weapon, just in case it's needed.

[-] WizardofFrobozz@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I can’t possibly express how little I care about anything you wrote.

Get guns, kill Nazis. It’s not complex.

[-] Cethin@lemmy.zip 6 points 2 months ago

Wow, I didn't even write much and you lost the thread that quickly. I was agreeing with the premise.

[-] Goretantath@lemm.ee 20 points 3 months ago

I mean, they are supporting nazis, so they are nazis themselves. And the only good nazi is a dead nazi so...

[-] parody@lemmings.world 2 points 2 months ago

Can’t wait till martial law? Fascist in Chief salivates like he did over Ivanka in that TV interview
