Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.


Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.


5. Only recent news is allowed.


Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.


No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.


7. No duplicate posts.


If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.


Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.


All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.


10. Don't copy entire article in your post body


For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Which means more 2A people need to start practicing.

ICE agents shouldn't get to go home at night.

Realistically, what would happen if ICE agents came in the middle of the night and a person were to completely gun them down? I assume it would escalate responses in general, but what happens to that person? Is martyrdom as much as they could hope for?

[–] PunnyName@lemmy.world 15 points 10 months ago

Yeah, they're not gonna live to the next day, unless they get all of the agents.

But they would be doing a net good to society.

The videos I've seen the ICE agents are in street clothes. They aren't wearing uniforms, no badges, nothing to indicate they're official agents at all.

If these people show up at night, I'd say open fire. They look like any other gang member.

Also, what's worse, getting deported into slavelabour or dying in your home, but getting to fire back against the SS, ups ICE?

[–] KingPorkChop@lemmy.ca 9 points 10 months ago

100%. If I were American (I'm not), in my American home (also not), on American soil (again not) and the government decided I was too woke and wanted to deport me to a deathcamp out of country, I'd definitely choose the Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid ending.

In fact, if this were happening in my town I might choose to go out slowly picking off as many ICE, government and police in their homes first.

You would be put in prison, and the only hope of getting out is your revolution winning, taking power and absolving all the people who to action of their crimes.

Think about it this way: The government is tyrannical, but they don’t see it that way. They don’t see your use of the 2nd amendment as “valid”, they see it as killing federal officials trying to do their job. Your only chance is change.

You would be labeled a terrorist, the ICE agents would become martyrs, and all future raids would be executed full SWAT style, with flashbangs, snipers, shoot to kill etc. They save a ton on deporting people, and get to straight up murder disidents in their home.

Trumps America is really incredible. People voted for this.

Whenever you feel stupid like because you made a mistake or something, just remember that people voted for this, and then you don't have to feel so stupid anymore.

The Venn diagram of those groups is a circle.

[–] PunnyName@lemmy.world 15 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Perhaps the outspoken ones from the past several decades.

But there are plenty who don't out themselves, because they understand trigger discipline.

[–] lka1988@sh.itjust.works 8 points 10 months ago

Yes, indeed. 2A was written specifically for this situation.

[–] CH3DD4R_G0BL1N@sh.itjust.works 4 points 10 months ago

Ammosexuals is what we call em

[–] AngrySquirrel@lemm.ee 10 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

That is objectively false. While most pro 2A people are rightwing, to say or even imply that it is all is ridiculous and counterproductive to resistance.

[–] DogWater@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

That's not true :)

Second Amendment, specifically the ones who have be very staunchly against government overreach (coincidentally, they've been largely conservative, and pro Fascist 47 - at least the loud online ones).
