    I know that the Black Panthers have a history of protecting polls while armed, but perhaps it’s time we allow people of all colors to be armed and protecting the polls.

    There’s a lot more of us than there are of ICE.

      Someone pointed out in another thread that schools and govt buildings where polling stations are already dont permit guns. But if ther are 50 of us there, the 10 of them they can muster will run like the cowards they are.

        That’s the issue with the government’s monopoly on violence here. It’s okay if they bring their guns to terrorize people, but it’s not okay for ordinary people to protect others.
