According to a Saturday report in the New York Times, concern over ICE’s brutality has grown to such an extent that many Minnesota residents, including both documented immigrants and US citizens, have started wearing passports around their necks to avoid being potentially targeted.

CNN on Friday reported that ICE has been rounding up refugees living in Minnesota who were allowed to enter the US after undergoing “a rigorous, years-long vetting process,” and sending them to a facility in Texas where they are being prepared for deportation.

        He’s gonna use it to defend his family in case masked men break into his house. Must be nice living with such privledge you can’t even conceive a scenario where someone is breaking into your house.

            There’s the big picture of massed armies, but much of the Civil War will be small groups marauding around, going house to house, setting up checkpoints, taking over small towns and even cities, etc.

            Those kinds of scenarios don’t include back-up. If a person can defend themselves and their family against those sorts of threats, you can confiscate their weapons, ammo, and gear, and become stronger.

          You say you won’t tell what you’re gonna do with your guns on a public forum, yet you feel the need to mention that you bought guns on said public forums…

          Po-ser.

          It’s all show. If ICE shows up at your door, you’ll say “Yes Sir!” and you’ll scream “No! I’m a US citizen!” as they drag you away to a DHS-sanctioned concentration camp.

          You’ll do exactly nothing with your guns, because you know as well as I do that the ICE goons will pump you so full of bullets if you do that there will be more holes than flesh left on you.

          If you had anything serious in mind, you would have kept your gun purchase hush-hush.

        They are not gonna change anything, but as things are, it’s not a bad thing to have at home. You’re still gonna die, but you can take a nazi with you. And that’s where america is right now.

        No, that’s just you projecting your cowardice on everybody else. Some of us are willing to fight for American Democracy, if MAGA takes away all other options. If that happens, stay out of the way, loser.

        Read between the lines with this: “I’m incapable of realizing this won’t be open warfare like I demand to get my PP hard on watching Amercians die on television. Instead it’s going to be a steady guerilla campaign without the mass PP hardening payoff I want.”
