I’ve seen two posts today of ICE agents arresting and terrorising ‘alleged’ US citizens. Where are the bearers of arms who bear arms in case of government tyranny? Is now the time to rise up and force back this disgraceful bullshit we’re seeing in the US?
A ton of the arms bearers don’t see anything wrong.
But what about those on the left? There are liberal guns owners. Where are they? No clue.
You’re going to run into an issue of two low probability events overlapping. You are on lemmy, so you likely have an outsized notion of how common/public these instances with ICE are, and of how common left-leaning gun owners are.
The vast majority of ICE arrests will happen in isolated locations, like someone’s home or place of work. So already, there are few people around. Of those who are around, most will not be gun owners, will not be carrying a gun, will not see ICE’s actions as tyrannical, or will have overestimated their confidence in whipping out their glock to defend liberty.
Idk about the rest of y’all, but I’ve been volunteering with the Houston Chapter of Food Not Bombs at every opportunity.
There’s far fewer of us than cops, and we’re more focused on keeping our impoverished neighbors alive than getting in gunfights with the police.
But maybe that’ll change. I guess we’ll see.
The Nazis want violence, that way they can justify even worse acts. Not that they need justification, they’l just keep getting worse anyway.
