      Mate, Ive never wanted a gun for more than pew pew at the range. However, we are at the point where our 2a right to defend ourselves is actually relevant.

      There are masked, plainclothes officers abducting people off the street. How do I know that they are within their legal rights?

      Trump is approving breaking into peoples houses without a warrant. How do I know they have a legal right to do so?

      I’m not trigger happy. If you show me a signed warrant and identify yourself so that I can verify who you are, we got no problems. Otherwise, how do I know you are who you say you are?

        That’s simple. They don’t, ever. Unless the 4th amendment has been repealed, all of these raids are illegal.

        That’s not going to stop you from being shot or prosecuted if you defend yourself, though.
