Only an uprising would change that
Not with that attitude
Once thing I've learned is Americans talk a big game about government overreach and needing guns to protect themselves and their country. They are too scared to do a damn thing. What's the point of all these kids being killed in school shootings and NEEDING to own guns if you don't actually use them against an oppressive government overreaching the constitution.
Doesn't make sense to me...
If an armed government militia is breaking the Constitution and covering their identities, then an armed civilian militia is a totally fair response.
Like some told me, it's not the people being arrested that own/want to own guns.
I really don't understand how they can violate people's civil rights with impunity.
This is the tinder that box needs to go up in flames
Fake democracy
You would think MS13 and all the gangs would have decimated ICE by now. Unless we are being lied to about how bad of a problem MS13 is?
I hope other cities are watching.
New York? Chicago? Houston? You're next. This is coming for you too.
