NRA been quiet right
They’re 100% OK about right wing autocracy and white supremacy. That’s been their thing the whole time.
I just want to say, Che-casio Cortez is looking really good.
They were always pussies.
So if you shoot someone acting on a no knock warrant, are you in the wrong? What if you live in a state with a castle law?
Depends on the state. But if you shoot a cop, regardless of how justified, your next 10 years, should you see them, are going to suck. And the following 10 are iffy.
But if you shoot ALL the cops?
There’s guys who successfully used self defense and didn’t do significant time.
It helps a lot if there’s only one side to the story. Because the other guys in a body bag.
I feel like I would run out of ammo before they stopped coming.
A memo from the executive branch doesn’t change the law anymore than a memo from me or you can act as a change in the speed limit. “Officer, I don’t have to go 25mph here, I made a memo that says I can go as fast as I want, anywhere I want. I signed it and everything. Look it has my personal letterhead at the top.”
That would be the case if the executive branch still cared about what the judicial branch has to say or involved the whole legislative branch in the decision making process. However, they don’t and their bulldozer approach is met with very little resistance.
Or in short: Being right doesn’t help you a lot if you’re being right while already in their concentration camp in El Salvador.
Because capitalism has beaten every last will I have.
It won’t get better because we are, in fact, waiting to die.
Dear other countries: don’t let the bastards win. They already have here.
Edit: I’m depressed as fuck, please don’t let my doomsaying hurt you. Sorry.
No I feel you. It’s a bad time to be American.
Of course the NRA has been quiet. They always do this, because they’re not about to people. Do you remember when California passed stricter gun laws? Because black people were buying guns? That happened like 50 years ago. The NRA was silent then and they are silent now.
Of course it’s always good to point out the hypocrisy. But let’s also remember the historical context, that this is consistent with the organization’s values and it always has been and it always will be.
I’m sorry, I can’t figure out what you meant to say with “not about to people,” and it’s driving me nuts.
Not about the people
The tyranny is when they take the guns and it’s too late to fight back. The tyranny is not the slow boil while they oppress the people I don’t like before getting to me next. Duh. Stupid libs.
My 00 buckshot is allowed to enter ICE agents who don’t have a warrant.
Ya. I mean. They don’t have a warrant. They’re trespassing.
The issue is law enforcement won’t serve a warrant in the blind. They do their research. They know who they’re about to take down.
So if it’s just a migrant family trying to get by. Sure. They’ll knock the doors down guns drawn like in the tv shows.
But it you a coked up methhead with traps all over your property in rural Georgia they’ll conveniently not have enough probable cause.
America is a messed up country.
I keep seeing this nonsense being parroted as though these pigs are going to burst in while you’re ready and waiting.
Surely they won’t come in and kill you while you’re asleep, right? No, that could never happen…
No knock warrants are stupidly dangerous for the victim and police. Personally if the SS are knocking my door down, and I can certainly say no one else is going to do this at any time, I’m comfortable with making my own terms. My life is going to hopefully cost more than equal loss. I’d rather fight till I die then die in a hole, they can torture and rape my corpse, I’ll be done with it before then.
Having firearms for protection is so they’re within reach and ready…if you lock up your fire extinguisher then it’s pretty fucking useless if you have a fire.
I get your point, but let’s be serious. That point is about being responsible. How often do fire extinguishers get kids killed?
The question is how often are they not used and kids die in fires?
Same question is, how often are kids killed by the police?
Idk but i don’t think fires are all that common, and we have plenty of other mechanisms to prevent fires from even happening.
OTOH, guns being stored incorrectly is for sure far higher than any fire death you are trying to make equivalent.
I am not strawmanning you here, but i am calling you out for being disingenuous. Like I said:
I get your point, but let’s be serious. That point is about being responsible.
Please don’t do backflips to justify irresponsible gun owners. That is disgusting.
The strawman is that you assume children would ever be in their home. If the guns are behind locked doors away from children, they’re secured.
The strawman is that you assume children would ever be in their home.
Why would that be a wrong assumption? I am not sure what you are getting at here.
Well i’m not sure whether it’s the tyranny they were always talking about.
after all, the US is sometimes incredibly racist, and these voices are influential rn. so it’s not surprising that there isn’t really a lot of loud voices invoking the 2nd amendment rn. especially not from the trump supporters.
Here you go
I thought tyranny was when the government tells you to not throw trash in the river or pays for kids public elementary?
/s
Well … The 2nd ammendment friendly liberals are smart enough not to post “come get sum ya dirty Nazi asshats” or say how they might be looking forward to defending their home against armed trespassers (ICE without a warrant). That stuff leads to trouble, or might look bad in court.
People know this is bad. History shows this only ends in violence. There is no way to vote our way out of this, these people either get overthrown/arrested, or they get taken out by other nations world war style.
“The takeover will be bloodless if the left allows it to be.”
i don’t think it’s likely that other nations will take out trump through a world war, as happened with hitler in WW2.
this is largely because i believe that other countries entered WW2 to stop hitler because they were getting attacked, or feared they were about to be attacked next. if trump doesn’t outright attack other countries, i see little reason for other countries to use military force to stop the US or trump.
For sure, but the rhetoric for annexing other nations has been ramping up, from Canada to Greenland
So I don’t know about it not happening. I see a very real possibility of WW3. Or an American Civil War at least. While also horrific, for the sake of the world I hope it ends up being “just” a civil war
Are we talking about the same Trump? Orange guy? Current president? The guy constantly yelling about annexing other countries and making them a 51st state?
The US is the biggest joke of a country, only the joke is not the least bit funny.
Well, it’s a conservative joke, so… yeah.
You should become a 2A person, and get real loud about this. Let the Gestapo know that their choice of career is putting their lives at risk
Every time I get loud about it I get banned from Reddit or Facebook or Lemmy.world
You’ve had 2 comments removed for advocating violence, and a slap-on-the-wrist temp ban from an obnoxious automated bot in a troll community.
No meaningful bans.
On this account
And advocating violence is exactly what I’m talking about getting banned for
So wait, are you admitting that you are ban evading?
Oh I 100% am on reddit ;)
Every time I get loud about it I get banned from Reddit or Facebook or Lemmy.world
This implies you’ve been banned from all three.
Lemmy isn’t reddit and if you want it to be, you should leave
Ban evading is still against instance rules whether you like it or not. If you don’t, maybe it’s you that should leave.
Like how election fraud completely disappeared once Trump won?
They are afraid they will find some
They
are afraidknow they will find some
It’s only fraud when they lose. Snowflakes don’t like to lose.
