IIRC, that happened a few months ago, not now. A lot of schools are out for the summer already anyway. School staff did a great job of making the feds fuck off.

    Now imagine how the parents of Uvalde felt. Police showed up, and not only did nothing, but actively prevented OTHER parents, who were showing up to storm the grounds to shoot the shooter themselves. But the police protected the shooter, causing the deaths of more kids. If memory serves me right, 12 kids had died before parents showed up. And something like 37 died by days end.

    Meaning, even if the police did nothing, and allowed the parents to go through, parents would have shot the shooter and saved 25 more kids.

    Imagine knowing your kid is dead because police were afraid.

    Recent report I read and heard about was them staking out elementary school "graduations." Caused parents to have to flee, which was rather depressing. The kids are likely birthright citizens, but even then, parents are afraid of deportation without representation (at least, according to interviews by KCRW/NPR).

    FYI btw, it's like the last week of school here in LA for most districts, so any of these stories are still very plausible.

    Can't help wondering how many stone cold rapists and paedophiles are out there pretending to be ICE and kidnapping people.

    Ted Bundy pretended to be a detective to try to lure at least one girl, but thankfully she escaped. How many others weren't that lucky?

    We might see a brief resurgence in serial killers if they start to realize this is a valid tactic, and this shit will get ICE agents shot because many people carry guns specifically for over the top scenarios like these.

    I sure as hell would start shooting. In Canada, if someone was actually trying to kidnap someone like that and the victim fired back, their shooting would be justified. They would still go to jail for years for illegally carrying a gun but the actual shooting would be justified. There is precedent for this in Canadian law.

    In Annecy, Frnace, there's a plaque on one of the elementary schools where Jewish kids were forcibly removed from class by the ss and taken away. Same shit's starting to happen in America now.

    Kill the fascists, disrupt their plans. Fuck them.

    You should train how to use a gun

    Absolutely. I've been shooting periodically since I was a teenager but I could use a refresher.

    Gold standard:

    Be able to draw from concealment and hit a 6” steel circle at 10 yards in under 1.5 seconds. Every time, 10 draws in a row.

    Ensure you can perform an elpresidente stage run in 6.5 seconds with all hits in the alpha scoring zone.

    You can perform a fast drill in under 7 seconds, 3 times in a row back to back.

    Your splits at 7 yards are under 2 tenths.

    Your draw, shoot, reload, shoot on a 7 yard 6” steel plate is under 2.5 seconds. 10 times in a row.

    Amateurs train until they get it right. Professionals train until they can’t get it wrong.

    You always fall in the moment to the level of your training, so absolutely train if you decide to arm yourself. Otherwise you have given someone in power the ability to take lethal force from you and use it against you, or worse, you have misapplied it and harmed someone you did not intend to.

    They do want that reaction. They're provoking normal people into violence to allow them to show an emergency and thus bring in the entire army

    America is completely and utterly fucked. There’s obviously no way Trump will run for president for a third term, but under the new fascist state, there isn’t a constitution to contest for said third term. He’ll be leader until death.

    But hey, thank your stupid god that you believe in so firecely that you’ve got that second amendment in your constitution you so adamantly demanded you need for times just like this to have your guns to use and overthrow your tyrannical government. Oh wait. Right; you’re all fucking bark and no bite.

    No, it was always a bad-faith argument so they could hold onto tools for killing brown people.

    I dunno.. I like having my tools for stopping fascist threats against my person and my fellow trans community

    Let’s not throw the baby out with the bathwater

    Criminals will manufacture weapons regardless, just look at the freedom fighters in Myanmar using FGC Mk.II 3d printed guns.

    You can make weapons out of hardware store parts

    You can’t make a mill illegal

    You won’t take CNC machines

    Criminals behavior is the crime, not the knowledge or the means

    Remember everyone. Due processes is there to determine if the activity is criminal. You are not a criminal until you have been convicted.

    Saying anyone does not deserve due process bc they are a criminal is factually wrong
