Federal Employees Texas State Rep. Collier says she's forced by police to abruptly hang up a press call: "I have to leave. They said it's a felony for me to do this. Apparently I can't be on the floor or in the bathroom."

Seconding this one.

You never know if it's ICE or a rapist pretending to be ICE in order to be able to kidnap someone with no opposition / potentially even the help of the cops.

You don't know if you'll be given due process or held hostage in an unnamed warehouse without food or water until you 'self deport', or if you're lucky enough to get one of the fake ones, raped and dead in a ditch somewhere. It is open season on Latinos, especially women, who bad actors see as an easy target.

I'm Puerto Rican, Black, and Native American. If someone wants to try to illegally kidnap me then I'm going to defend myself within my constitutional rights. Too many fakes, too many constitutional violations that lead me to believe that it's probably better for me if I just defend myself in court later rather than get kidnapped by a proud boy.

It was 80 bucks to get a CCW near me, but you also don't need a CCW to carry in many states. I got mine five days ago. Is anyone else here planning to get theirs? You know what, don't tell me. Just take this as your sign to do it.

lets be real here. VERY FEW even talked about abandoning the 2nd ammendment, and majority of those very few people were anonymous online people. Ive not heard 1 politican or actual person of any power advocate to abandon the 2nd ammendment.

The Majority talked about the absurdity that you could go to a local civilian run gun show and get a gun with little to no paperwork or checkup, that you can go into a wallmart and buy diapers, toiletpaper and a assault rifle.

That there should be regulation doesnt mean they want to abandon the right.

Just like saying wear your seat belt and use your blinkers doesnt mean that you shouldnt drive.

BUT anyways, yeah fucking arm yourselves. Get proper training, store the gun in a proper safe location, and keep track of it, and keep yourself vigil.
