Way ahead of you there.

So you’ve been banned more than once and you continue going back?

The problem is that most of the weapon fetishists are on the side of the fascists.

To add on to what @pivot_root@lemmy.world and @Beldarofremulak@discuss.online said, the primary use-case for personal firearms in the US outside of hobby/hunting in day-to-day is self-defense, and as a last resort.

Even with a concealed carry permit, most states’ concealed carry laws state that you can only use your weapon if you have no method of retreat, and retreat should always be the first option. (Rightly so.)

Second problem that this seething pile of shit administration has created, is even if you were cornered, no way out, and used a gun to defend yourself, as soon as they say (real, fake, made up, or retroactively) “oh that was a Federal agent” you’re now looking at having to deal with the Federal “justice” system, which is currently a big lying pile of shit that does whatever it wants with no regard for any life. (State and local laws are, for the most part, still functioning correctly.)

So basically, a death-and/or-El-Salvador concentration camp sentence for the person-that-would-be-helping.

Signing up as a rogue citizen to defend others, as a firearm owner, is at minimum legal fees, possible loss of firearms, possible jail time, or these days, possible disappearing.

You basically have to be in a mental state of writing off your own life to do such an act. If we are at that point, we’re probably in civil war.

There’s not cowboy justice in modern America, most of the time, surprisingly. Only Federal cowboy injustice.

Closest that could be maybe done is if a group of armed citizens in a state where open-carry is legal set up groups to protect those being targeted by the Nazis just outside the legal land boundary of the courts. Specifically because officers (read: thugs) are trained to shoot first and ask questions later. You’d need a mass of armed citizens, not touching their firearms, so the thugs know they’re outnumbered and no matter how tiny-penis-brain they are, they know they’ll probably come out dead if they escalate. Still very risky, could easily escalate as the thugs are also trained to purposely aggravate citizens so the citizens will make a mistake and the thugs can “apply the law” (do whatever they want with no consequences) as they see fit. This would be the tipping point Mango Mussolini wants to declare Martial Law across the US, and then we’re back to the civil war thing. All the rules change at that point, and the perceived “authority” that the ICE cowards think they have disappears, but we’re also looking at massive loss of life, no matter how it plays out. Unlike the Nazis, most Americans value life.

It sucks, right? When a majority of a country follows its laws, but they’re dealing with human trash in power that can mutate it at-will with almost god-mode powers, it becomes infinitely more complex to save the People and Democracy. They’ve done a good job stacking the deck in favor of Tyranny.

The Venn diagram of gun fetishists and the people still cheering for Trump is nearly a circle.

Is there no law enforcements with weapons in your courts?

American cops don’t protect American people. First and foremost, they protect their own. Beyond that, they protect the establishment that gives them their authority.

I like to shoot far off cans, bottles, and targets out in the country. I’ve never shot an animal (that I know of) or a person (pretty confident about that one) and if there was some rabble-rousing going on and I was for some reason armed and loaded I don’t have the mental capacity nor the confidence to decide who lives and dies. Just because I own guns doesn’t mean I’m your defender. You should go buy a gun and become the justice decider you describe. Become the change you want to see.

What is happening is abhorrent. Morons with guns aren’t the answer.

…i wonder about the use scenario for all these weapons you guys own and i do not understand why besides having a fetish for weapons.

The vast majority of guns are owned by people who lean far, far right. The use scenario for most of them is a fantastical case where strangers with dark complexions threaten their homes and families and they suddenly turn into Rambo or the Punisher and then shoot all the bad guys.

Of course this never happens because these very people are honestly cowards who are too scared to go to the grocery store with their weapon. If something really dangerous happens you’d better not be between them and the nearest exit because they will shoot you if you block them while they’re running away. Well, unless you’re armed. In that case, they’ll run from you too.

Still better to be killed in the street than renditioned to America’s concentration camp in El Salvador

Yeah, this was the part that really got me:

“Show us a warrant,” the video shows one of the two women demanding as they attempt to get between the detainers and the detainee.

“Do not touch me or impede me in my lawful duties,” the man in the pink shirt responds. “We are officers from Homeland Security.”

That’s a real bully-logic move right there. How are we supposed to know that these are your lawful duties if you’re refusing to show us your warrant or even your badge? Like, if she had blocked them at this point and the issue were brought to court (and yes, it’s ironic that this is happening in a court), then I can’t imagine a jury saying “well yeah, you can’t prevent a guy from abducting someone just because he won’t give you any indication other than a pinky swear that he has the legal authority to do it.” But, of course, the obvious implication in the moment was that since he was from the “abduct people in an unmarked van with unlimited authority” branch of the government, this wasn’t going to a jury trial, and she was either getting out of the way or she was going in the van too.

I dunno, man. It’s scary.

Then I guess these gestapo need to be legally shot, after a legal trial and sentencing to death.

(Stupid fucking mods.)

Maybe, but writing mean articles about them isn’t going to stop them, and they have the support of the trump administration. The only thing that’s going to stop them is if they’re afraid they might not go home afterwards.

Obviously the next step for them will be gearing up like they’re going into combat, but that really starts making people pay attention to what’s going on

So… you’re suggesting obviously homosexual activities while calling someone derogatory slurs?

The lady doth protest too much, methinks

That thing you wanted was already happening under Biden, and before him. How do I know? They didn’t hire new people. They just gave the signal to the existing hires that they can do what they want. They were able to deport criminals before, and they did. Trump just lied when he said they didn’t. During the campaign he duped millions of people into believing a fake problem to which he is now providing a fake solution: no additional criminals are being deported, not really — they’re just doing things more sloppily, being more cruel about it, and padding the numbers with innocent people.

Ok, “deporting” people to El Salvador instead of their home country. That’s certainly new.
