On June 27, in Huntington Park, California, federal agents from Customs and Border Protection (CPB) carried out a violent raid on the home of a working class family while Jenny Ramirez was caring for her two children, aged six and one.
In a scene of militarized terror more typical of a war zone than a residential neighborhood in Los Angeles, agents used an explosive device to blast the front door off its hinges—without warning or announcement—before storming the premises.
Home surveillance footage of the raid shows eight heavily armed agents, guns drawn, storming the home after blowing the door off its hinges. Later in the video, Ramirez and her children are seen being escorted out by the agents.
If you’re asking this question you should be joining their ranks. Don’t wait for someone else to protect you. Arm yourself and learn how to use it.
I’m not in america. I know how to use firearms and am trained.
I am asking the most armed country why it is a single way range right now, when they keep saying they have firearms for this specific situation.
Stopped reading.
Then keep your fucking mouth shut. We left wing armed people in America are few and far between, and it’s our own party’s fault. None of my IRL friends even k ow I own guns, and they’d be horrified if they did. I can’t buy standard magazines that my guns literally shipped with in the box (they are now banned), can no longer buy the same guns I already own (they are now banned), and in another year I’ll need to attend a class and fill out a form for a permit if I want to purchase a firearm, regardless of me owning them already.
“2a where you at?” <— fuck you, that’s fucking where. We’re probably less than 1% of the population, way too few to make any difference.
My fellow Democrats did this.
Enjoy fascism, assholes. You made sure we can’t stop it.
Fuuuucking preach. Couldn’t have said it better if I tried.
Because most places require checks and classes. The myth of walking in and walking out with a gun in ten minutes isn’t real in 90% f the United states.
Then there’s learning how to shoot it without scaring yourself then there’s actually knowing how to use one under stress
Now, one would have the learn to be cold blooded enough to want to harm someone
Those are HIGH barriers to cross, even if one a owns a gun.
One should always save that for last. Always.
If your skin ain’t in the game you don’t get to complain. It’s easy to tell “other people” to go risk their lives.
Bruh, the USA absolutely fucking excels in fucking complaining and invading without a shed of skin in the game. They have fucking earned to get tossed all the shit in the world at them.
Then Americans should stop saying their guns are for when tyrants show up.
I don’t have skin in the game when the orange turd has threatened my country? Take that nonsense to the circus.
Real tired of your shit Yankee.
And this anti Trumper is sick of you fake a supporters trying to get trump to declare martial law, ya plant
I want you fuckers to hold up to the ideals you have said you have or quit saying you have them.
You been out there protesting? You keeping track of ICE? You doing anything but asking others to do what you won’t do? What you, who advocate for violence from the comfort of your living room, would never do?
No. In all likelihood You’re a trump supporter drumming up drama to keep us from focusing on him . Has to be the only explanation for your absolutely ridiculous and stupid comments. Go away and let the grown ups talk.
Huh, if you paid attention, I’M NOT AMERICAN AND I’M WONDERING WHY AMERICANS HAVEN’T LOST THEIR COLLECTIVE SHIT AND STARTED DRAGGING THESE PEOPLE INTO THE STREETS LIKE THEY BRAGGED THEY WOULD.
Lol. Now the trump plant is upset. Oh well. The people who know that infighting won’t help will keep organizing and working on the actual fight.
I won’t respond again so enjoy your crazy and ridiculous attempts to sow discord.
It would seem that by “tyrannical government” most of us actually meant “non-whites”.
More directly, I would guess the people who are in a position to do something, like myself, would prefer not to be the only one showing up against a militarized police force and federalized national guard troops. Armed resistance isn’t widely viewed as necessary even though I would argue we’re past the point where it should have been widespread. Perhaps holding that belief and not engaging in such methods makes me a coward, I’m honestly not sure. I do know that I see a lot more sentiments like “where are the armed leftists” than I do “how do I join an armed leftist organization” and I don’t think we’re going anywhere until that changes. Everyone, myself included, is waiting on someone else to step in and stop this rather than deciding that it’s up to us to do it ourselves.
I think it’s also that each individual person is so isolated and each small geographic region has such a lack of interconnected community. Each individual person, no matter how well armed or courageous, is nearly powerless against these organized paramilitary occupying forces in their communities.
