I’m in Southern California and guns are not common here at all. I’ve shot them before with friends who own them years ago and I don’t mind them. Not once have I felt I’ve ever needed one.
I’ve seen a couple videos of ICE entering apartment complexes in neighboring cities. I would think the least I can do with my second amendment right is own a firearm and keep a sign outside stating that my home protected under that right. ICE is unpredictable and unhinged so I feel like it’s a “damned if you do, damned if you don’t” scenario.
Seeing black panthers and white folk in Minneapolis protecting their neighborhoods is amazing to see. We do not have that at all here. I feel like our passiveness here will only make it worse because people (part of me does too) think exercising our 2A right to protect ourselves in our home will only make it worse. That mentality has gotten us nowhere. This is year one, if things keep going and getting worse I fear many of us will highly regret it.
I found a gun range not far from me that provides training for a fee that I am very interested in. I need to talk to my lady about it because I understand it’s a bit of a taboo subject around here.
— Alpastor_Moody in Is it time for me to own a firearm?
[h/t Rob Romano]
From my time living in a state that required copious amounts of money to get a permission slip to exercise that right I recall one of the questions on the form was “for what reason do you wish to carry a firearm?”
The go-to legalese answer for such a question is “for all lawful purposes”.
I really hope these Confederates in MN are putting “to shoot cops” in that field.
So when rioters were burning cities to the ground in 2020. And murdering innocent people were the stood.
And the police were ordered to stand down.
But when white homeowners came out to open carry long guns. As a visible means of protecting their private property. This guy said nothing.???
Or did he like so many liberals call those legal gun owners “acting violent” while just standing in front of their homes.
Liberals are only “fair weather” friends of the second amendment.
They remind me of the leadership in great britain during a world war two. Who wanted guns for their citizens because they were afraid of a german invasion.
But soon as the war was over , they ordered the guns to be turned into the government and destroyed.
“I would think the least I can do with my second amendment right is own a firearm and keep a sign outside stating that my home protected under that right. ICE is unpredictable and unhinged so I feel like it’s a `damned if you do, damned if you don’t’ scenario.”
Another liberal with a distorted view of reality.
He’s not really thinking about the 2A. The 2A is just his justification in his mind for shooting/murdering ICE, he has already pre-judged and pre-meditated for a specific target.
Andy Ngo: Here’s What I Saw When I Got Inside the Signal Chats Used by Extremists in Minnesota.

…
The Signal chats reveal individuals and groups so besotted with fear and hysteria that they probably don’t trust their own family if they belonged to these chats.
…
‘Participants are deeply paranoid right now and increasingly fractured,’ writes Ngo. ‘Many are retreating into smaller, supposedly vetted cells — classic behavior consistent with clandestine, criminal organizing.’
That, and the kind of paranoia one might see in a hospital for the mentally ill.

Introducing the Actual Grassroots Lefty Group Helping Organize the Insurrection.
Maybe the most important lesson we learned in 2025 from Data (small-r) Republican’s efforts was that the Left’s ‘grassroots’ efforts are funded by a tangled web of NGOs siphoning your tax dollars, but what if I told you that there is an actual grassroots anarchist organization helping organize the insurrection in Minnesota?
‘Anarchist organization.’
Heh.
But I digress.
Doing some excellent amateur journalism this week — and stick a pin in that thought because I’ll come back around to it shortly — X user Kristen Mag dug deep into CrimethInc (get it?), a ‘private-donor funded site with a known history of fueling extreme activism.’ The group “clearly state[s] that the goal of these anti-ICE Signal groups is to increase confrontation and coordination in order to facilitate illegal harassment and obstruction of ICE agents.”
…
Mag found it ‘incredibly unsettling to see this extremist site aggressively promote ‘infectious courage’ while discouraging ‘overcautiousness,’ all while ‘praising protesters who ‘use their bodies’ and violently attack federal agents.’
You can read more at the CrimethInc website, including its guide to ‘Rapid Response Networks in the Twin Cities.’
…
‘They are heavily involved in any far-left insurrection in the U.S.,’ Ngo continued, ‘mostly through creating guides and reports for organizers to use. They usually stay just out of criminality by guiding others to the violence.’
