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.

You wrote no civil war is breaking out because you were comparing your disarmed population to the USA. Don't back petal now.

No botanicals involved.
You are either completely misunderstanding or intentionally misconstruing like half of what i'm saying.
DESPITE your great plan of arming every waking being, and many guns in civillian hands, nobody is keen on starting a civil war - as is evident by the lack of any shootouts of the great armed population against ICE.

If i really have to spell out the specific implications and meanings of anything I write, so you don't move goalposts every other comment, i'd rather withdraw from this utterly pointless exercise.

Which you clearly missed half of what I've pointed out. The left isnt armed and the right who is, are the ones mostly causing this shit. The fuck are you on about. So pointless arguing with some of you euro kids, you have no clue what's going on over here.

[–] shapesandstuff@feddit.org 1 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

so you're hell bent on the claim that no meaningful amount of left leaning people in the US possess guns and that's the root of the problem.
do you have numbers on that or is it more of a vibe fact.

I literally posted this already.

About 20% of the left is armed. Compared to 50+% of the right.
