    Look there’s more than enough handguns in the US of A to arm each and every person who opposes ICE agents kidnapping innocent people illegally. This is not by accident. The second amendment was crafted with this very scenario in mind. It’s time.

    Time to pick up the very arms the Constitution guarantees you have the right to bear to fight the very people your Constitution armed you to fight.

      Always have an escape route ready. Do your thing then get the hell out of there.

      While this sounds nice police largely have no fear of consequence because qualified immunity and even threatening to do harm against a cop carries big consequences. The truth is that lawmakers need to step up and make it clear what they’re doing is illegal, that way refusing an unlawful command or protecting yourself can be easily defended in court. Shooting a cop is only going to add fuel to the fire.

        If you’re targeted for kidnapping/rendition, your choice is to either die in an El Salvadoran prison or to die in a hail of bullets with the hope of at least taking a few Nazi thugs with you. Due process is not an option. That’s what’s happening now. It’s not a hypothetical.

        Yeah that’s not going to happen, what now?

        Shooting a cop is only going to add fuel to the fire.

        The fire doesn’t care about your fuel. If you stay paralyzed in fear of adding fuel to the fire you’ll wake up to find yourself burning.
