So border patrol attempted to carjack, then attempted to murder this family, stalked them to their home and forcibly confined them for hours?

Because if the feds never showed a warrant or ID to them, then from their perspective any criminal gang could do the same thing to them.

I hope someday Americans return fire.

It's happened before and it will happen again.

Another reason it's hard to believe I'm not stuck in a computer sim.

I've been hearing, reading, seeing an endless amount of things indicating that huge amounts of Americans are super proud to be a multi-gun owner.

I guess all those motherfuckers are perfectly happy with Trumpy and MAGA.

Fucking loser ass POS.

ICE is targeting non-citizens, who cannot purchase firearms in the first place. Furthermore, they are targeting them in states that have major restrictions on the second amendment, meaning the number of citizens who could have a firearm is much lower. Even in red states the number of people who would intervene against multiple armed opponents is very low.
