It's almost as if they bad guys have the guns

[–] Snowclone@lemmy.world 15 points 8 hours ago

They're 100% OK about right wing autocracy and white supremacy. That's been their thing the whole time.

[–] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 12 points 8 hours ago

I just want to say, Che-casio Cortez is looking really good.

[–] AdolfSchmitler@lemmy.world 8 points 8 hours ago

They were always pussies.

So if you shoot someone acting on a no knock warrant, are you in the wrong? What if you live in a state with a castle law?

[–] Therobohour@lemmy.world 3 points 22 minutes ago

Hey yea that's right,you yanks love shooting people on your property

[–] Dragonstaff@leminal.space 13 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

Depends on the state. But if you shoot a cop, regardless of how justified, your next 10 years, should you see them, are going to suck. And the following 10 are iffy.

But if you shoot ALL the cops?

There's guys who successfully used self defense and didn't do significant time.

It helps a lot if there's only one side to the story. Because the other guys in a body bag.

[–] unphazed@lemmy.world 1 points 25 minutes ago

I have lots of cameras. Some hidden. I have all kinds of evidence. Best things be done according to the law on my premises. The Constitutional law, not the flippant ravings done on a whim just to test the actual laws put in place for 200 years.

[–] collapse_already@lemmy.ml 3 points 7 hours ago

I feel like I would run out of ammo before they stopped coming.

A memo from the executive branch doesn't change the law anymore than a memo from me or you can act as a change in the speed limit. "Officer, I don't have to go 25mph here, I made a memo that says I can go as fast as I want, anywhere I want. I signed it and everything. Look it has my personal letterhead at the top."

[–] Doctor_Satan@lemm.ee 4 points 1 hour ago

"You might beat the rap, but you won't beat the ride."

This memo may not hold legal weight, but that won't mean much when ICE black-bags you and sends you to a Salvadoran gulag from which there is no escape and no contact with legal services.

[–] varyingExpertise@feddit.org 8 points 8 hours ago

That would be the case if the executive branch still cared about what the judicial branch has to say or involved the whole legislative branch in the decision making process. However, they don't and their bulldozer approach is met with very little resistance.

Or in short: Being right doesn't help you a lot if you're being right while already in their concentration camp in El Salvador.

Because capitalism has beaten every last will I have.

It won't get better because we are, in fact, waiting to die.

Dear other countries: don't let the bastards win. They already have here.

Edit: I'm depressed as fuck, please don't let my doomsaying hurt you. Sorry.

[–] Snowclone@lemmy.world 5 points 8 hours ago

No I feel you. It's a bad time to be American.

[–] orcrist@lemm.ee 19 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Of course the NRA has been quiet. They always do this, because they're not about to people. Do you remember when California passed stricter gun laws? Because black people were buying guns? That happened like 50 years ago. The NRA was silent then and they are silent now.

Of course it's always good to point out the hypocrisy. But let's also remember the historical context, that this is consistent with the organization's values and it always has been and it always will be.

[–] clashorcrashman@lemmy.zip 5 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

I'm sorry, I can't figure out what you meant to say with "not about to people," and it's driving me nuts.

[–] Uranus_Hz@lemm.ee 2 points 9 hours ago

Not about the people

[–] array@lemm.ee 11 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

The tyranny is when they take the guns and it's too late to fight back. The tyranny is not the slow boil while they oppress the people I don't like before getting to me next. Duh. Stupid libs.

[–] 4grams@awful.systems 1 points 9 minutes ago

Almost got me with this one. I’ve heard the same argument deployed unironically from some of my own family…

[–] Stupe@lemm.ee 26 points 15 hours ago (12 children)

My 00 buckshot is allowed to enter ICE agents who don't have a warrant.

[–] mechoman444@lemmy.world 8 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Ya. I mean. They don't have a warrant. They're trespassing.

The issue is law enforcement won't serve a warrant in the blind. They do their research. They know who they're about to take down.

So if it's just a migrant family trying to get by. Sure. They'll knock the doors down guns drawn like in the tv shows.

But it you a coked up methhead with traps all over your property in rural Georgia they'll conveniently not have enough probable cause.

America is a messed up country.

[–] unphazed@lemmy.world 2 points 22 minutes ago

Taking notes... become a methhead. Got it. But how can I eat without teeth?

I thought tyranny was when the government tells you to not throw trash in the river or pays for kids public elementary?

/s

[–] Wilco@lemm.ee 36 points 16 hours ago (2 children)

Well ... The 2nd ammendment friendly liberals are smart enough not to post "come get sum ya dirty Nazi asshats" or say how they might be looking forward to defending their home against armed trespassers (ICE without a warrant). That stuff leads to trouble, or might look bad in court.

People know this is bad. History shows this only ends in violence. There is no way to vote our way out of this, these people either get overthrown/arrested, or they get taken out by other nations world war style.

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 8 points 11 hours ago

"The takeover will be bloodless if the left allows it to be."

[–] gandalf_der_12te@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

i don't think it's likely that other nations will take out trump through a world war, as happened with hitler in WW2.

this is largely because i believe that other countries entered WW2 to stop hitler because they were getting attacked, or feared they were about to be attacked next. if trump doesn't outright attack other countries, i see little reason for other countries to use military force to stop the US or trump.

[–] SkyeStarfall@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

For sure, but the rhetoric for annexing other nations has been ramping up, from Canada to Greenland

So I don't know about it not happening. I see a very real possibility of WW3. Or an American Civil War at least. While also horrific, for the sake of the world I hope it ends up being "just" a civil war

[–] Wilco@lemm.ee 1 points 8 hours ago

Are we talking about the same Trump? Orange guy? Current president? The guy constantly yelling about annexing other countries and making them a 51st state?

Well i'm not sure whether it's the tyranny they were always talking about.

after all, the US is sometimes incredibly racist, and these voices are influential rn. so it's not surprising that there isn't really a lot of loud voices invoking the 2nd amendment rn. especially not from the trump supporters.

[–] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 12 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

The US is the biggest joke of a country, only the joke is not the least bit funny.

[–] blargle@sh.itjust.works 1 points 7 hours ago

Well, it's a conservative joke, so... yeah.

[–] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 137 points 22 hours ago (3 children)

Like how election fraud completely disappeared once Trump won?

You should become a 2A person, and get real loud about this. Let the Gestapo know that their choice of career is putting their lives at risk
