This will not end well.

    Remember when we were told that kids had to keep dying so we could be allowed to keep guns in our home in case the government decides to break down our doors one day??? Member that? Pepperidge Farms remembers.

    Do the Americans really want USA to be a fascist gestapo country?
    How exactly do the methods of Trumps regime reflect a society that values freedom?

      MAGA’s society is one where white people rule and set the laws. Right now, the target is brown people but it won’t stay that way for long. East Asians will be the next cause of issues with China.

        Absolutely, but it was not only white people who voted Trump in, a lot of Latinos and Hispanics also voted for him, and they are absolutely targets already!

        No, white people are no safer than anyone else, they are just lower on the priority list. They’ll get to us standard issue white folks eventually.

        Only the wealthy will be safe from the government, and that does not include the mere rich. If you think you are safe because you have a net worth of a few million bucks, you are deluding yourself. You are just another poor rube to the truly wealthy, and when all the profit has been wrung out of the poor, working class, and middle class, theyll go after the merely rich.

          It won’t matter how much money you have, it will be loyalty based like Russia. Get on the wrong side and they will strip your assets and disappear you. It’s just hasn’t built up to that point yet.

    So I really dislike having guns in the home since I have young children. At this point I’m willing to consider it. I don’t have a room for a massive gun safe and nor do I know what gun to get for home defense. What resources are out there to help me find a starting point?

    Just wanted to add that since ICE agents are just walking around doing shit without identifying themselves, anyone could walk into your house and rob/rape/murder you while claiming to be ICE if you resist.

    Just want to make it clear that this opens up a whole lot of home invasions.

      Exactly! have no warrants and don’t identify themselves; they don’t even have a uniform or badges. I do not care who they say they are, anyone can say they are ICE to get into my home. Do we honestly believe that people are not going to do that? Like be real, this is a flashing beacon of hope to criminals.
