    Idk why more people aren’t advocating for using the second amendment to take down the tyrannical government like gun nuts have always dreamed of

      Politicians have very successfully convinced the demographics that would be against ICE that they should be against the 2nd amendment.

      1.) Any resistance group that wants to use the 2A needs to be very well-organized. A lone wolf here or there will quickly be pounced on by hundreds of ICE goons who have the entire federal government behind them.

      2.) Violent resistance would give Trump a justification for declaring an insurrection and imposing martial law. Say goodbye to the 2026 elections (and beyond) if that happens.

        While point 2 is correct, I’m not entirely convinced he won’t declare it anyway and make up whatever excuse he wants
