“I’m saying it right now,” Homan said. “There’s still going to be more bloodshed unless they shut their mouth and let ICE enforce the laws that they enacted.”

DHS has acknowledged that neither of the men who have been shot in recent weeks was the target of the ICE operations that led to their deaths.

A witness reported that Guerrero shouted, “I tried to stop” after being shot by an agent while his vehicle moved forward slowly.

    Sure would be nice if all the “we need guns to protect our freedoms from tyranny” people hadn’t joined ICE to enforce tyranny at the first opportunity.

      All of this can be true. I’m exceedingly pissed at how the vocal anti-fed 2A crowd was talking all tough, and now they’re licking the heels of the feds as those agencies literally carry out all the conspiracies we were supposed to need that 2A for.

      If Tyranny == Law:
      Rebellion = Duty
      

      ???

      Something like that?

      Ugh. What a bunch of cowards.

      Edit: I’m not even advocating violence. Where’s all the peaceful open-carrying protests? That’d at least be a start towards a polite society.

      Thugs in unmarked vans with masks would be a lot more hesitant to beat on civilians with 50 legally carried rifles in the vicinity. Jussayin.

        The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

          100%

          The only way I logically see this going wrong is if some militant MAGAs show up and start trying to stoke a fight.

          It’d be pretty funny though, watching FOX hosts cover such a thing. They’d start screeching, hopping, and shit-flinging while looping the same 5-second footage for a week straight if the “wrong people” were exercising those rights.

          Although, forcing the NRA to get somewhere between “Mighty uncomfortable” and “Brain bleed” having to choose between licking fascist boots vs. protecting the second amendment, would be freaking hilarious. 😂
