Maybe installing a government run by neo-Nazis was a bad idea?
Why aren't Americans shooting at ICE agents. It's that what the 2nd amendment was for?
“We don’t have to show you anything,” one agent reportedly shot back when asked for ID or a warrant.
“The crowd was unruly,” police said in a statement, claiming several individuals “put their hands on federal agents and Worcester officers.”
There's no reason to believe that they're federal agents if they refuse to show ID. And there's no law against putting your hands on gang members kidnapping one of your neighbors while impersonating federal agents. These dipshits are out of control and fucking stupid.
I’m just pleading for them to do this to the wrong set of people who take 2A seriously.
Man fuck what that orange fucking pile of shit turned my country into. I hope he does bleeding from the eyeballs.
Joseph Petty call and write the mayor and demand all charges dropped and these people released.

Do not stop.
This is not okay, and it is not a product of the legal system. When the system fails the people, it's up to the people to deny the system its power. Good on those neighbors getting involved and pushing back.
Soooo those 2nd amendment rights are a joke? Guns were bought just to show off at the range and with buddies?
Trump and his cronies are gonna get your guns its not a matter of if but when.
Rise the fuck up.
Trump doesn't need to come after guns. It's pretty obvious at this point that nobody is using them or ever will. Americans may talk tough about guns but they aren't a threat to the fascists.
I concur. Any portion of society that would have the will of resistance has been convinced that only fascists have guns therefore it's the fascists that have all the guns.
Right, but he's dismantling the constitution piece by piece its coming, not a matter of if but when
There has to be millions like me out there that are willing to fight I refuse to believe 200+ million Americans are gonna roll over.
So when you all gonna use all those guns you buy to defend yourself
The people opposed to ICE aren't the ones that buy the guns.
I don't think that's correct. Plenty of us on the left have firearms, we just don't make it our entire personality.
I'd very much like to see a similar study done more currently, but I can't turn one up from my halfhearted looking around.
You are wholefully incorrect. There is a lot of people on both sides that own guns. America has more guns then it has people. Sooooo no.
America also has more cows than it has people, and lego is the largest tire manufacturer in the world. While true that some liberals also own guns, for example I am a liberal and I own a gun, I'm not sure how it's relevant beyond that (admittedly) situationally self-evident truth. Gun culture is centered around, and the vast majority of firearms are owned by, conservatives.
That has been changing. We’re not buying them as fast but we’re buying them.
Do you have a source for that? I've been digging around some looking for information but other than the national exit polls (which removed the question more than a decade ago I guess?) I can't find any credible studies on it. It would be reassuring (well, kind of...) were you right, but anecdotal evidence and all that
That’s a shame
Once upon a time, in a distant land, a person arrived near a police vehicle while a crowd surrounding the vehicle was argumentative and loud. They dropped a few caltrops and nudged them under the wheels with their toe.
Once upon a time, in a distant land, a guy with a cordless drill disabled some police vehicles in a speed-run. Sadly they had no RC car to mount it on (note: some cleanliness, testing and engineering skills required) or they could have called it a "rig" and proclaimed "drill, baby, drill".
The one story I read had the person doing those things leaving their phone at home and wearing things to shield their face. Some of the stories I've heard also include the main character putting a small rock in their shoe in order to alter their gait to avoid potential detection based on it.
Cool stories...
