Wielding postmodernism as a weapon; the only truth to them is their truth. Fucking psychopaths.

Weird thing is this is the “government takeover” the 2nd amendment nuts have been screaming about for generations.

No no no. You're thinking of the Civil Rights Act. That's what they were complaining about.

These people have been led around by the nose their whole lives. The same people who have been shouting this nonsense at the 2nd losers are the ones who were inevitably going to pull this.

I keep seeing this take and it's half thought out at best. First of all, I don't think it's true. There are plenty of armed citizens not sympathetic to ICE in any way. They are reasonable adults who have not felt it necessary up to this point to engage in a last resort effort that is likely to endanger tens of thousands of people at minimum. You may think we are already past that point, and we may well be, but you can't deny that wanting to be sure it is necessary before taking up arms against their countrymen is exactly what a reasonable adult with a firearm should do.

Second, if what you are saying is true and there are no reasonable citizens with guns then the logical course of action is to buy a gun, organize in your community, and practice your 2nd Amendment rights as you see fit. They don't just apply to conservatives despite what Bovino is trying to argue. Complaining about the past isn't going to change the future so if you see a gap, fill it.

Now I don't know if you're American or not but I do see this sentiment from Americans on a regular basis and that is who am I addressing.

Cf Reagan and California’s gun control laws.

Something, something, inalienable rights, something, something, life, liberty...

My dad has always said it'd be the Republicans who would take guns.

They're working for it.

I was actually surprised to see a lot of comments on r/conservative talking about how the stuff the feds are saying about the second amendment is wrong and unconstitutional, and a good number saying that the killing wasn't necessary, they'll ultimately support Trump and ICE over any kind of progressive though but it was interesting. Even the NRA posted about how Pretti was a legal gun owner and there should be an investigation before people jump to conclusions.

When the order to seize the guns comes, it will come from the right, and not the left. Those with money can have guns, those without, can't, no matter what party they belong to.

Of course they support the notion of privilege. They are all about privilege and anti-egalitarianism.

Same thing with freeze peach,

I didn’t realize constitutionally-enshrined rights were something a single appointed official could wave away simply by saying they “don’t count.”

IOKIYAR.

This Pretti guy didn't seem like he was sufficiently identifying as a Republican...rights only belong to conservative Republicans.

That is the rhetoric the regressives have used incessantly to defend their rights to firearms. Now that the KKK and proud bois have been given guns and federal authority suddenly those rules don't apply anymore.

Who couldn't have seen this coming other than most of us. The people I work with are 90% non white. They don't think this will apply to them. They don't like me talking about it. They think they can just keep their head down and someone else will take care of it.

I mean, it's Charlie Kirk, but still, what a stupid thing to put in the Constitution if it's for that reason. What about a plebiscite to kick out some rogue government? Nah, let's give guns to the people so they can make a Civil War whenever they feel like it.

It also explicitly says “right of the people to keep and bear Arms”. Not sure what point you’re trying to make. 

Quite a number of Nazis escaped prosecution. They had to be tracked down over half a century, and still a lot escaped entirely.

His own personal Tyler is out there, I suspect.

Land of the free... because of the brave

Nazis have gotten in bed with Israel, so they're safe.

God I hope so.

It's always been projection with those fucks.

Well and isn't that just what they accused the left (and the center) of doing? Full disclosure, I am a gun owning slightly left of center.

Actually... Bovino is sending out a dog whistle to the real 2A nuts

Bovino gonna get hisself Kirk'ed

The idea of "god given rights" has never been true. Humans have always had to fight for every right they have ever had, and it takes away power from those rights to insinuate they were given to us by some magic sky man.

There's my peoples. Fuck these nazis.

Have you met a MAGAT?

They're all cowards.

They talk a big game but if you ever even show them an ounce of resistance or defiance they turn tail and run. There's a reason they love guns so much, it's a fucking power totem/the only thing that makes them feel manly. They are feckless cowards and because they think them and their ilk are the only ones armed they can use it to get their way.

They forget that some of us don't announce we're packing and will only use it as a last fucking resort. We're not bloodthirsty animals who wish to cause needless death, since we have fucking empathy, unlike them.
