A lot of those guns are in the hands of individuals who align politically with ICE, but yes — the greedy dragon will inevitably attack enough people indiscriminately that this will become a serious factor in the years to come.
The only question is, how much damage is going to be done before people use them? Can we trust that the people will fight back against a homegrown Gestapo?
Furthermore, places that are most likely to see heavy ICE action will be places like California, Massachusetts, New York, Illinois, which checks notes... right, have the strictest gun laws.
Then you got gun owners like me who hate ICE.
