Oh my fucking god... Every comment in this stupid thread is saying the same stupid thing. "Time to get your guns...", "Exercise your 2nd amendment... " Yeah, that's hilarious tough guy. Do you have a gun? No? well do you have a gun license? No? Well do you know the first thing about firearms? You do! Oh you've played several call of duty games... Awesome. Do you know that you're statistically more likely to shoot a family member than a home intruder? Well I hope you don't like them much.
Ok, moving past the idiotic bravado... It sounds like you have no solution for people who aren't just itching to murder other people. Say for instance, that I have no interest in shooting someone, and in fact feel that a civil society should not involve shooting anyone, especially fellow countrymen. With that in mind, for the sane perhaps 70% of Americans, do you have any useful advice besides "get a gun"?
Finally, if your plan does work and every American arms themselves, then congratulations, we've fallen into civil war 2. Now what? Even if you do have guns, the government has bigger ones and they have munitions you don't. You will always, always be outgunned by the military. Now being armed makes you a hostile combatant/terrorist agent in the eyes of the law, anything you do with it will be deemed illegal. Some good that 2nd amendment is doing you. What's your plan now?
So you plan to just take the abuse and the loss of your liberties and freedoms?
I'll stick to my guns.
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?
You are already defeated I see.
Back to the keyboard they go.
You are already brainwashed I see.
People break into my house I'm with intent to harm me andy family
This guy: welp. Guess I'll die.
Says 80% of the global population...
Yeah, that's such a weird stance. It's just what the vast majority of people do.
You're welcome to not have guns. No one is forcing you to defend yourself. You can fight ICE with your bare hands if you want.
But maybe don't shit on others for wanting to be pragmatic.
