As a gun owner, I agree with this. Open fire on ICE…see how that goes. You won’t win. You might kill one, but they will CERTAINLY kill your back. Isn’t it odd that in the most armed county on earth, no ICE officers have been shot in the line of duty (check me there, but I’m not familiar with one)?
Seems like most people are focused on the gun thing here. You already said it; what civil solution do we have?
Honestly, an .ml agreeing is the only thing giving me pause. That suggests the CCP wants us shooting each other and their agents are stoking that rage.
Interesting.
You see one user of the original instance and you assume I’m CCP? If it were that straight forwardly obvious, wouldn’t you think they’d move to a new instance? No, I’m saying because I know my history and am actually in the thick of it in America unlike you, you troll. What rage would even be stoked?
I am not saying go straight to mindlessly shooting people, that won’t happen and will certainly only hurt people. I am saying that if these options do fail, which they have every time they haven’t been backed up with the threat of violence, options are limited with what can be done next.
Community building. That’s the best thing we can do right now. Building social structures to help take care of everyone when the crumbling system will inevitably fail us. This can include making sure that vulnerable people are safe when ICE are sighted in the local area.

Protests, which are doing little to nothing. What happens when those fail? This is extreme fedposting.

Me, looking up what fedposting is…lol. Ben Jordan did a great video on that or something similar. Quickly becoming my favorite YouTuber.
You make a good point; protest, write representatives, all good things. Vote in the midterms (assuming we have them).
All that said, it doesn’t make what I said untrue. Post 2nd amendment stuff if it’s cathartic, but think it through.
I’m shook by how powerless I feel and guns don’t help the situation. But that feeling of helplessness is a feature of the fascism playbook.
