    Oh, by the way, where are all the second amendment people who’ve been claiming for decades they need their guns to resist tyranny? Have they all been on holiday abroad for the past year?

      They are waiting for the day that will never come. As in, it will come, but they are too busy watching tik tok and missed it.

      Right fucking here. You rang? What do you expect me to do, invade DC? Start shooting any ICE agents I can find? Funny enough, ICE isn’t active in the South, where we’re armed to the teeth. Isn’t that something?

        I love the blatant lying, or maybe it is just complete willful ignorance and only watching fox news.

        Ice is literally by far the most active in the south. In the gun capital of the US, Texas, they are an order of magnitude more active than anywhere else.

        America’s “2nd amendment” crowd are literally just LARPers with 20 layers of excuses for never doing anything or organizing (except racism rallies) at all. It is “thoughts and prayers” with more expensive equipment.

        Isn’t that something?

        They seem to be active in Texas, where guns are fairly ubiquitous. I think it’s much more likely they are targeting border states and left leaning “sanctuary” zones. This is for obvious reasons. They have tried to spare the deeply red states because what they are really after is voter suppression. They want every legal immigrant to stay home next election for fear of reprisal. This is the definition of terrorism.

          I haven’t had a chance to fight. Have you? Will you? You can refer to ALL my previous comments on the subject if you wish to belittle me and my attitude.

          And I’d welcome the criticism! Maybe I’m full of shit, how could I know?

          In any case, I have the option that it sounds like you have denied yourself.

              I am able to defend myself, best I can anyway.

              As I write this, I have a 12-guage pump leaning on my desk. Hate the overpowered shells I bought, but that’s another story. Still have to practice with the damned things because that’s all I have. The iron sight is bomb after painting it with white-gel nail polish. The flashlight is kinda ghetto, but it never fails.

              I can pop the safe under my desk in, hang on, gotta test, 8-seconds (that sucks!) and have my Colt .45 in hand. That’s the handgun I’m best at, but not the best handgun.

              When I lay down with my legal, brown, immigrant wife, I have the AR-15 leaning on the nightstand. Again, not the best of the best, but what I’m best at.

              On top of the headboard is a Smith & Wesson .380 EZ. Not great, but I’m fair with it and it has a good light.

              There’s a .380 behind the medicine cabinet if I get caught taking a shit. Weird, I know. That tactic was born of having a bear wander in the dog door.

              You were saying what? You are more than welcome to come practice with me at our camp tomorrow. Shooting is, uh, a little tougher than owning. Some people mistake the two.

        I expect you to do what you people have been saying you were going to do. Which is not sit in your ass and applaud the fascist takeover. Oh and while i haven’t found any current figures, the southern states are certainly not behind on deportations. If you have any sources to back up your wild claim, I’d be happy to see them.

          Are you not online? Are you not watching? Where do you see all the ICE videos happening? Let’s here your take! Not seeing shit in my hood, or my area, or my state. All I see is LA, NYC, etc.

          Not finding any solid maps. You?
