Federal immigration agents swarm Minneapolis high school, handcuff staff and fire chemical irritants at students. Safety concerns prompt school closure.
Preventive maintenance is always better than repairs…
If there’s a group of 100 protestors and 10 of them have rifles and plate carriers, all of a sudden de-escalation can become a common goal.
If the same side is always the only one with guns, and they face no legal consequences from escalating to violence…
They’re gonna keep doing it.
It sounds counter-intuitive, but there’s a reason ICE isn’t going after actual cartels and drug smugglers. They’re picking the easiest targets, so now is the time for everyone to stop being an easy target while we’re still legally allowed to buy this shit. Being visible armed is the only way to make cops want to de-escalate. If not, they’re trained to “press the advantage” and keep you panicked, which doesn’t work at all, but makes them feel tough.
Eventually Trump’s gonna stop letting people buy guns, if you think an armed populace will ever be necessary, now’s the time to get a kit together.
Just one person being armed won’t deter them. There’s a reason the 2A specifies “well organized militia”
It is your right to gather together with other armed citizens and use violence to defend your communities.
Arturo Gamboa, the man shot in June while openly carrying a rifle at Salt Lake City’s No Kings protest…
Looking to confront Gamboa for his AR-15-style firearm, a safety volunteer fired three shots. Two struck him, and another killed an innocent bystander…
When asked about his actions that day, Gamboa said he was “peacefully protesting, utilizing my First and Second Amendment rights under the Constitution.”…
A civilian volunteer (peacekeeper for the organization that held the protest I’m pretty sure) that pledged not to have a gun. Shot another civilian who didn’t pledge to have a gun, for having a gun…
What does this have to do with law enforcement again?

It’s well established that a line of armed men is the best way to prevent Police from rioting at a protest.
I’ve never seen a video of a cop shooting a protester while another protester is in the area with a rifle…
Can you show me a single example of me being wrong?
Because it’s logically impossible for anyone to prove the opposite, I’d have to show you ever video of American law enforcement shooting someone…
How about shooting an innocent bystander and the armed protester while he was carrying a rifle.
They would have thought twice about shooting Arturo if he had a dozen armed friends nearby, I’d wager.
example of you being wrong
So…
That means you couldnt find an example of what I was actually g about?
Are you being sarcastic or can you really not tell the difference between those two sentences?
Bystander was a protestor.
Arturo was a protestor with a rifle, in the same area as bystander.
Bystander was shot.
“I’ve never seen a video of a cop shooting a protester (bystander) while another protester (Arturo) is in the area with a rifle…”

Who is the cop that shot someone?
Are you aware that you are arguing in bad faith?
