A clarinet player was arrested after playing her instrument to the tune of the “Ghostbusters” theme song outside of a Portland ICE facility, which has recently become a site of daily clashes between federal agents and demonstrators.

    There’s a cost-benefit calculation to be done. If you’re the only armed dissident, it’s basically suicide by cop. There’s a critical mass necessary to mount an offensive.

    Also, a good chunk of the 2A zealots are cool with what’s happening. They don’t feel oppressed.

    The ones being oppressed are the ones who generally didn’t like the weapons. I know, I was one of them.

      I kind of understand that it feels bad to own weapons when you oppose them. I doubt fascism will lay down peacefully but i wish you guys luck.

        Thanks. To be fair, aside from the pacifism if you look at my other interests and hobbies I should be a gun guy, so it’s been a begrudgingly pleasant transition.

          I believe many leftists will use the time it is still possible to get a gun. I know i would even though i hate that shit. As german i don’t really have that option, so i really don’t look forward to our own Gestapo being errected in 4 years from now (neo-nazis are about to take power).

              I might sound like a pessimist sometimes but i do believe that fascism will lose again💪

            Sport shooting looks like it could be a valid workaround, plus actually sport shooting is great training. Things are bad here but I can’t say I envy Germany right now.
