    Because the gun nuts that you keep hearing about are either with them or on their side.

    These are just regular folks they’re rounding up

    Regular folks go to work, pay their bills, pay taxes and are part of the community.

        You don’t think they know that?

        Family in a car: easy target Dudes at work in a kitchen/construction: easy target 12 year old cancer patients: easy target

        this is who they go after…

        Real gang members? Cartel men? Nah…that would be like confronting a school shooter…and that ain’t happening

      The typical ones maybe, but life is a game of statistics. With hundreds of these happening there should eventually be some crazy dude on the “right” side.

        Be the first. See where it gets you. It’s a death sentence to the person with the initiative and the people standing nearby with hardly any payoff and probably an increased military/police presence in the fallout.

        Grand ideas alone can’t fuel a revolution.

          You misunderstand, i am not talking about people being logical or strategic.
          Obviously nobody that is sane will do this, but the US is full of people that are not sane. At some point there should just be someone that has some sort of mental breakdown and stops giving a fuck.

        Then suddenly it’s not okay to shoot anyone on your property and witb how ICE operates I see it as completely reasonable to shoot at unidentified masked men.

          I see this as well. Masked men in plain clothes with no ID taking people off the street? that’s a gang.
