NRA been quiet right
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."
SovCit "jurisprudence" says you can if the flag has a gold fringe.
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.
Hell yea brother I'm waiting with you 💀
No I feel you. It's a bad time to be American.
I’m not being quiet about it AT ALL. This is why I’ve been trying to convince my liberal friends to arm themselves for years.
Bought my first gun ever immediately after the November election. When anyone brings up the stock market these days I tell them I'm investing in seeds, fresh water, and ammunition.
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.
They were always pussies.
No one is looking to incite a civil war, even if many people on both sides fantasize about it. War is grueling and terrible and we are still too comfortable to risk it. BUT. I think preparing ourselves for the eventuality is wise. Really the best move we could make would be a general strike. It'd be a bloodless deathblow to this stupid stupid situation.
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
2nd amendment people never cared about defending against tyranny, they just wanted their cool boom boom toys and specifically nthis group also just wanted to be able to be racist twats
I wonder what'll happen when they raid a house belonging to one of the trigger-happy gun collectors
The homeowner will roll out with a gun and immediately be killed in a hail of bullets, despite acting entirely within their rights. No ICE agents will face any consequences, and the warrantless raids will continue. That's what usually happens anyway. The 2nd amendment is a farce; law enforcement can legally kill you for exercising your right to bear arms if they want to.
Home owner doesn't roll out anywhere, he starts blasting the door knowing it's not gonna end well
Still, better than not doing anything. Make these fuckers afraid to go breaking into places in the night.
See the Breonna Taylor case or one of the many, many instances where dumbfuck no-knock raids got a cop put on GoFundMe. If the gun owner survives the encounter, they're likely to be prosecuted for not magically knowing the home invaders were cops, or not believing "Police! Police!" (because everyone knows only cops can shout that). The cops will definitely shoot back, though, and there's a high probability that the gun owner will not survive the initial encounter. Still, if enough cops get put on back window stickers, they'll start exercising some discretion.
One the same day Rittenhouse got off, a guy who defended himself against this exact thing was acquitted. But since the weapon he used wasn't properly registered to him (a charge which the judge for Rittenhouse shrugged off and tossed on a whim) that guy got 30 years in spite.
They'll find the loopholes to achieve the desired outcome.
The US is the biggest joke of a country, only the joke is not the least bit funny.
They're hanging out with the free speech people, watching university students get deported for speaking freely and laughing at it.
