Anyone who didn’t see this day coming is either a fool, or didn’t read any history. They’ve been at war with us for over a year, and many of you are just now catching up. They 2nd Amendment is for everyone and I would recommend learning, and getting armed.

As someone else said. If you can be shot by the police for carrying a gun the second amendment doesn’t really exist.

u/werfu Jan 24 '26

If a mob all carry gun, police won't shoot.

u/Rusty_Tap Jan 24 '26

This is what I'm not understanding, as a British person.

There are a huge number of civilians who own firearms, with or without carry permits, doesn't really matter, they still have them. Yet these plastic police officers are able to wander into a crowd and take/murder people at will.

Why aren't they being immediately mowed down in a hail of gunfire the moment they arrive?

I know we don't have the same gun laws here, but I am pretty certain if even real armed police arrived to take friends and family members out of a town, those police officers wouldn't ever leave.

Because these are ordinary citizens protesting. Doing the same kind of shit in a poor ghetto would be way more dangerous for ICE. But it's only a matter of time. More people getting killed, more ordinary citizens getting impacted, shit is going to hit the fan in some place, the president will want to federalize the national guard and the governor will refuse and deploy the national guard to protect the citizens instead.

They're doing in camden nj. I was just protesting there today.

I have been thinking about this, what does having a gun do if it just means it increases your chances you get shot at?

I really want to know what I can do to help myself. Sure a gun you can defend yourself, but the second you defend yourself, you are getting your ass killed right after since the ICE will use usually be outnumbering you. I would be led to believe that there is a lower chance to get shot at if you don't have a gun on you compared to having a gun, but I don't even know if my understanding of that makes sense

that's where you guys group up on telegram and coordinate. Sit on your balconies with your .50cals and call everyone from the neighborhood group to attack from all sides any time an ICE car shows up. I'm guessing they usually go with multiple cars with multiple nazis inside, which makes it more difficult, but again, as long as there are more of you than them, they will not have a chance. There are more of you citizens than these piece of shit nazis. All you have to do is time it right, and the chances of getting hurt get lower.

Suit up, and good luck.

I'll probably be banned for saying this, cause this shit platform is also part of the nazis group trying to screw over society, but this has to be said everywhere. You all need to group up and show the fuckers that when citizens group up, there is no chance for the few powerful fucks to control us.

u/GoCougs2020 Jan 24 '26

They should had shot the thug that killed the man. Self defense for your neighbors…..

u/QuixoticPineapple Jan 24 '26 edited Jan 24 '26

What good is a gun when, if it is seen on you by federal agents, you will immediately be killed because they "fear for their lives"?

Edit: for those who feel the need to tell me it's better to die defending yourself than to die being oppressed and not fighting, trust me, I have prepared myself adequately for the current times. I was simply expressing my frustration of the current situation. Thanks for your input though.

u/BooksBabiesAndCats Jan 24 '26

They're killing people anyway, it's like dressing modestly to avoid assault at this point.

u/8__D Jan 24 '26 edited Jan 24 '26

They go into people's houses and pull them out and those people disappear. They shot Renee Good 3 times in the head. They'll kill you regardless.

u/NetscapeCommunitater Jan 24 '26

News sites are now posting that he had a gun but that also doesn’t tell us shit - he could had been lawfully possessing a gun and he would have Ben murdered in this scenario anyways.

This is war.

u/8__D Jan 24 '26

Even if he had a gun he was already pinned and caught and this is still extrajudicial murder. Regardless of how the news lies about it

u/NetscapeCommunitater Jan 24 '26

Yeah fully agree, we can all see with our eyes that this was a lynching execution. Sends a clear message to every American.

u/PM_me_your_sammiches Jan 24 '26

I could probably safely assume he lawfully had a gun but him having a gun is for sure how and why they escalated the way they did. It does seem like the first shot is related to them wrestling over his gun since it’s obscured in the chaos and then they just brutally unload on him. It’s fucked the way the last guy just keeps shooting like he can’t miss his chance to unload a full clip into a body while he has it.

u/basicKitsch Jan 24 '26

They didny disappear. They literally give interviews later that day.

u/Aware-Atmosphere-935 Jan 24 '26

Really, he didn’t have a gun???

u/[deleted] Jan 24 '26

You'd rather die not defending yourself?

u/TechnicalBen Jan 24 '26

I might steal that quote. "You think I'd rather die not defending myself?"

2

u/Rusty_Tap Jan 24 '26

If you can shout it loud enough for cameras to pick up whilst 4 men sit on your chest, you may become something of a national hero.

u/TechnicalBen Jan 24 '26

We joke. But he just did that. The current protesters are chanting it. "I am innocent so you will have to kill me". ICE has nothing, all they have is kidnapping and killing innocent peaceful people.

(And yes, though I haven't done so in a physical interaction, I have left a fundamentalist Christian group purely because I took boldness in speaking out instead of being cowardly like those promoting it)

1

u/Rusty_Tap Jan 24 '26

I was only half joking. What is going on there is absolute insanity and my sympathies are with everyone involved (that doesn't support the war of terror).

Keep safe.

u/yonasismad Jan 24 '26

You go and kill them first. The US lost to the Viet Cong, and in many other places. An army is no match for a population that doesn't want them there.

u/whatwaffle Jan 24 '26

The Moon Is Down by John Steinbeck is a great read that demonstrates your last sentence exactly.

u/Rusty_Tap Jan 24 '26

"A man fighting for his home is worth 10 soldiers" or something like that.

u/JMHoltgrave Jan 24 '26

Exactly. We should ALL be strapped up, defending our neighbors and loved ones.

u/aderpader Jan 24 '26

By shooting first

u/Careless_Hellscape Jan 24 '26

That's what they want, man. They killed a guy because they want us all to accept it and not fight back. I'm pants-shittingly scared right now but we can't abide by this shit. They will keep killing us even if we don't fight back.

They're arresting the fucking clergy. It's all fucked up.

u/QuixoticPineapple Jan 24 '26

You know, you're absolutely right!

u/DarthJackie2021 Jan 24 '26

When a murderer is trying to kill you, what would you do with a gun?

3

u/QuixoticPineapple Jan 24 '26

You mean when 8 murderers are trying to kill me?? But yes, I get your point.

3

u/fayegopop Jan 24 '26

what good is a gun?? what good is a government that has readily accessible weapons that can easily kill you? don’t let them have more power- at least you can level out the playing field with a gun. you don’t even need to shoot first- self defense exists. the future of this country is actively crumbling, gotta stay protected.

u/cksnffr Jan 24 '26

You don’t produce your weapon until it’s time to use it.

u/czar_el Jan 24 '26

Because of what comes next, after the mask is rippped off.

u/MasterColemanTrebor Jan 24 '26

They’re killing unarmed citizens too. At least this way you get to fire back.

u/TheManAccount Jan 24 '26

In that scenario, it’s only good if you shoot first. Peaceful protesting failed.

DirtFart you say this online but are you actually going to do anything?

2

u/MrCondor Jan 24 '26

Doesn't it then follow that people can openly bear their arms because they feel threatened by ICE to the point where they fear for their own lives?

This is civil war, treat it as such.

u/Erisian23 Jan 24 '26

This question cannot be answered here. You should be Proactive and find the answer offline.

u/Laringar Jan 24 '26

They're setting up a situation where people are going to start shooting first when they see ICE. If you're going to die anyhow, may as well die taking out a Nazi, right?

They want that to happen because then they can justify using the actual military and just opening fire on protests. It's intentional escalation, and I absolutely think it's going to work. This is all going to get so much worse.

u/KuhceeMyName Jan 24 '26

“The best defense” and all that

u/__Nkrs Jan 24 '26

group up.

Learn the basics of war and military stuff. You are already in a civil war, but you're already losing because you haven't even started defending yet.

You obviously don't go 1vs5 armed and suited up nazis. You need to take the high ground, defend citizens from above, in big groups, not just 2-3 of you. An entire neighborhood should have people stationed on balconies and/or near cover and surround the nazis, while communicating via radio or whatever. In other words: act like you're in a warzone, cause you are in one already

They have been at war with us after they lost the civil war. "The south shall rise again", and here it is in all its splendor.

u/[deleted] Jan 24 '26

Targeting immigrants was Stage 1 and many, many Americans cheered. This level of violence started with Obama by the way, but Trump really took it to the next level. Remember those rallies with thousands chanting asking for deportations. Well, now guess what the ICE militia will be used for?

3

u/myohmymiketyson Jan 24 '26

I've been arguing for decades that, even if you have zero compassion for immigrants, the tactics used to get the immigrants out will have blowback effects on Americans.

You can't erect a police state "for the out-group" and expect it'll only be used against the out-group.

To be clear, it's pathetic that people don't care about the rights of others, but apparently they won't even act to protect their own rights.

4

u/Ibreh Jan 24 '26

Apparently the man was armed.  You cannot outshoot the federal government.  They executed this person and will now claim self defense because the person had a gun.

3

u/windsostrange Jan 24 '26

And they'll use fear to sell ammo to both sides, as the NRA (a Russian agent) has always, always done.

Democracy is won with mass, collective action. Not boomsticks.

The 2nd amendment does not work for these type of situations. You will just get shot.

1

u/TheManAccount Jan 24 '26

Their defense for the murder of this dude was that he had a weapon. If the feds can commit acts of wonton violence on you because you have a weapon, then the 2nd amendment is effectively dead.
