ICE agents pointed guns at a US citizen when she ran out on to her yard to ask why they were arresting her (legal immigrant) partner. (abcnews4.com)

Ring footage shows an agent pulling his gun on her, after which he shoves her down multiple times, pushes her back into house & slams the door.

All because she was asking for proof of a warrant. They refused to even give their names & badge numbers.

SC has stand your ground. Wouldn't brandishing a weapon basically green light you for using proportional force to stop an illegal act?

Even better, id be interested to see what happens in a state with castle doctrine.

If you haven't figured it out yet, all of the big talk, 2A fans are the biggest pussies out there.

If any of them were legit, we'd have dead ICE agents by now.

The 2A crowd are the ICE agents

That's what happens when the left goes full divestment from and demonization of guns for multiple decades. Even Marx knew it was a dumb idea, but saying "hell yes we are coming for your AR-15s and AK-47s" was just too tempting. The far right gun nuts are going authoritarian and the centrists are still hoping this doesn't end in a shooting (civil) war.

What would happen? Your house and at least five other houses around it would be riddled with so much lead that it would be declared a hazmat site. They would then "find" 40 bags of cocaine on property. Each bag would be found by a different officer and oddly not one of them will have been hit by a bullet. 112 random weapons will be found on your property, often in the exact same place that the cocaine was found, but by completely different officers at different times.

Well they can have all the fun they want doing that after they step over the four corpses on my doorstep, one of which will be mine.

I'll bet dollars to donuts that they know who and who doesn't have registered firearms. They are cherry-picking easy targets right now, and are going to avoid a gunfight if they can help it.

Dude everyone should be armed. You dont know who these people are. Im not letting human traffickers get at my kids or wife just because ICE doesnt want to ID themselves. Fuck them and that.
