    I remember when the anti-communist battle cry was "Better Dead Than Red!" Of course, tyranny isn't happening to YOU so it's not happening to anyone.
    Since I don't carry a gun and don't depend it on as my sole source of self-defense your question is moot. Robert Heinlein mentioned that there's no convincing someone who believes in guns that anything else will work. What I find amusing is that gun fetishists love to talk about fighting tyranny and how they are so well protected because they have a gun. Exactly how much good is a gun in the scenario we're talking about if it won't keep you from getting thrown in the back of an unmarked van, by unidentified masked goons? :chris: Full disclosure: I do teach self-defense. I am not a "master" of any art.

    Kilmar Garcia was here legally, arrested in error, then deported without trial and remanded to the custody of a concentration camp.
    That would seem to be a violation of his rights (due process), and thus tyranny.
    In fact, anyone deported without due process is having their rights violated, whether they were here legally or not.
    So, there you tyranny. By your own definition.


    Ah. Another White dude who thinks all Hispanics are a monolithic voting bloc.

    Actually, there are many people like you who "voted for this" that are objecting to the breadth and scope of the deportations. You appear to be in the minority, that minority being people watching retirees who've been here legally for decades getting deported and think "Serves those fuckers right."

    Oh, we know. You are the point.


    So it has to affect you personally before you'll stand up for anyone's rights? That tracks.

    Not while violent shitbag criminals, who do not obey gun laws and are very much armed, are allowed to walk the street.

    So, never.

    1. Almost every mass shooting, and preeeetty much every school shooting used legally obtained guns.

    2. The villains from "Death Wish" aren't real. That's a cartoon from the NRA. Snap out of it.

    And you, like crosis, fixate on a tiny minority of incidents with obvious dishonest intent.

    I could post a slew of articles about shootings, armed robberies, carjackings, but what wouls be the point?

    Private, illegal transactions that will not so much as slow down slightly from the passage of more gun laws. Unless they resort to heavy-handed enforcement tactics you decry in other contexts.

    You know what violent shitbags means, and I'm not going to play your stupid little game where I must condemn ICE if I don't want to be mugged, so go fuck yourself with that tiresome nonsense.

    You think Australia didn't have widespread firearm ownership??

    So, that's why a majority of the guns in Mexico, for instance, were purchased legally in the USA and brought illegally into Mexico?
    Why the vast majority of gun crimes committed in NYC, for instance, were purchased legally in other states and brought into NYC illegally?
    It sounds to me like the problem is not from inside the house.

    Actually, I don't. Not in your mind, at least. To you, this is not a violent shitbag:

    So you're gonna have to be a little more clear.

    I didn't ask for overgeneralized, superficial similarities, you greasy ratfuck.

    And that's before you break it down by weapon type. People aren't generally pulling drive-bys with grandpa's double-barrelled shotgun.

    Sooooo...your argument is that Americans are so obsessed with guns that there's no point in trying to stem gun violence?
    Okay then.

    Another misogynist insult. On brand.
    But no. My point was your blatant hypocrisy. Which you are too much of a coward to actually address. In much the same way you're too much of a coward to mosey on over to the "Is it okay to fuck a 15-year-old" thread.

    Stop.

    Being here without permission is NOT a criminal offense.
    It's a civil offense.
    Again, whether it should be criminal or not is a separate discussion, but until you recognize that it's on the same level as a general speeding ticket, the rest of your post is moot at best.

    You're one who's stood by the axiom that words have meanings. Your choice of 'illegal' betrays your view.

    This is real. A government agency calling Americans performing their democratic right of protest “imbecilic morons.” This Trump regime is a poison and never should have gotten power. Reprehensible. Deplorable.

    They were never going to say "y'know, you people have some good points".
    Everything has to be nakedly, and reflexively, and bitterly adversarial.

    funny thing, but given the number of police encounters I see I don't think I've ever seen them draw on even the most crazy acting people.
    It's like they're not particularly worried about being shot at.
