New threat to 2nd A?

[Switchback00]

Some percentage of conservatives are headed toward setting a precedent that the next administration will use to erode our gun rights. If this admin says it isn’t ok to have a gun at a protest then that will be enforced on conservative protests in the future. Too many of you think this is Bengals/Steelers or Duke/Carolina where there are two teams and you root for one or the other blindly. That isn’t the case. There are good people and bad ones on both sides. At best this ICE agent supremely f*<ked up at worst he executed a guy. No need to blindly fall in line. Turn off the Fox News and MSNBC for a while and look around the world is filled with grey areas.

Just trust your eyes again America

Honest question

What if your young adult son or daughter came to you and said "Dad or Mom im gonna go join the protests going on in Minnesota". What would you say or what advice would you give them?

"Have fun. Be safe"

What if your young adult son or daughter came to you and said "Dad or Mom im gonna go join the protests going on in Minnesota". What would you say or what advice would you give them?

I would tell them to do so. I would tell them to not obstruct any legal actions by law enforcement. I would tell them to record it. I would encourage them to have the company of others as witness if things go south.

I would thank them for doing what they feel is right. A young adult can piss away time and energy in ways that add no value to their life experience. Sticking their neck out for something they believe in will add value to their life experiences, whether I support that belief or not.

The odds of them getting hurt are far less than many of their other daily activities. Go for it.

So, I’m reading a lot of these comments (besides victim blaming) as, “if you see injustice, best bet is to stay home.” Doesn’t matter how much charged language you want to use, the point is the same.

Most people who go out to protest or stand up for something are hoping to make a difference, not expecting to get shot. And sorry, not sorry if protesting makes things harder/inconvenient for the government; that’s the point of protest.

When it’s acceptable that the only way to stay safe is to not stand up for something you believe in, then dissent is more necessary than ever. Doesn’t matter if you’re protesting ICE, or abortion, or anything on either side of the aisle. You don't have to like the person protesting, or agree with their methods (provided they’re legal), but dismissing a death by saying 'they shouldn't have been there' is pretty disheartening when thinking about the history/founding of this country. Also kind of surprising given the type of people on this forum (in my mind, freedom-loving, gun-toting advocates for things like hunting and conservation).

(And on another topic, if this is a prevailing attitude, no wonder we are losing so much ground in all things conservation, too.)

And to the guy that dislikes us “AWFFULS” (or simply, “WFFLish’s”), I guess it’s a good thing well behaved women rarely make history.

People should go protest and pack guns if they want. What I don’t understand is that these are FEDERAL officers like it or not that’s what they are why someone would wanna be close enough to get hit with mace. Go watch or film do whatever you want but why get that close and in the way? Honestly this entire thing kinda reminds me of the buffalo in Yellowstone WTF did you think was gonna happen? I don’t think he should have been shot by any means but it will be interesting to see if they release body cam footage before you guys get the rope around his neck

They’d have to wipe the crumbs and gravy off the lens to see anything from an ICE body cam

According to Kash...you can't.

“You cannot bring a firearm, loaded, with multiple magazines to any sort of protest that you want. It's that simple. You don't have that right to break the law and incite violence,” Patel said during an interview on Fox News on Sunday.

Glad to see the guy in charge of the FBI doesn't even understand the Constitution he swore to uphold and protect, real patriot.

Lame argument, what are these sign holders even protesting? Difference between the fight for independence and whatever this shitshow

You can’t be that dense. If you seriously can’t understand why people would protest having civil rights suspended in the name of rounding up criminals, just go ahead and get on all fours and bark like doggy for Uncle Sam already.

This situation is the exact quote about giving up liberty for protection and deserving neither.

And those clips of him and Noem saying that will be played by anti-gun groups for decades. What an absolute own goal.

“Twatzi” Noem can take a little break for now, run off with Cory Lewandowski and have some infidelity time on the taxpayers dime.

Obviously you need to open carry and have plate carriers on for it to count
