“You cannot bring a firearm, loaded, with multiple magazines to any sort of protest that you want. It’s that simple. You don’t have that right to break the law and incite violence,” Kash Patel said. Like Kyle Rittenhouse? Or all the other cosplaying Meal Team Six smooth brains that like to counterprotest? Cool, cool, cool

[-] kersploosh@sh.itjust.works 248 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

In case anyone forgot, Rittenhouse went to a protest with a loaded rifle looking for a fight, shot ~~two~~ three people, walked away untouched, was acquitted, and got speaking gigs on conservative TV shows. You can do whatever you want as long as you're on the "right" side.

[-] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 87 points 2 weeks ago

fun fact: teenage Rittenhouse had better discipline and control during the immediate timeframe of him shooting people than these 5+ year ICE/CBP goons have

regardless of what he set out to do, if you watch the videos of the event, it's actually less of a transgression than the shit going on now. and that's, uh, sad.

[-] Omegamanthethird@lemmy.world 42 points 2 weeks ago

Yep, both were looking for a fight. But Kyle was actually trying to get out of the situation. These people are literally executing people.

They're scared shitless that Minnesotans will realize they can legally carry rifles (they need a handgun permit tho) and ICE only has pistols

They're already out numbered 10-1 everytime they get out of their trucks.

CCWs don't help, because they're not a visual deterrent and the act of drawing would get you shot.

But a big fuck off rifle will make them get back in the truck. America has a dark history, so fuck it let's co-opt it.

Let's see how the racists feel when they get followed everywhere by a group of people with rifles.

I have a feeling bare minimum they won't be so quick to escalate to violence.

They pardoned the january 6 people. I guess that only counts if you're specifically aiding Trump in a crime.

I saw an analysis recently where someone went through the grievances of the Declaration of Independence and fully like 2/3rds of them applied to the Trump admin.

[-] frongt@lemmy.zip 61 points 2 weeks ago

Remember when NPR tweeted the declaration and Republicans thought it was an attack?

https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-supporters-react-to-npr-declaration-of-independence-tweets-2017-7

Yeah, if you feel attacked by that, you're the bad guy.

Has the NRA commented on this? For once, I am interested in their opinion.

[-] FEIN@lemmy.world 31 points 2 weeks ago

as per the bbc article linked by the other dude who replied to you, the NRA and other pro-gun lobby groups have urged investigation into the circumstances of Pretti's death. I'm kind of interested in how much that divides Trump supporters who are mostly pro-ice and pro-gun. It probably won't tbh...

That's not how rights work.

[-] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 41 points 2 weeks ago

The 2nd amendment is literally for when the government says rights don't matter...

That's how rights work, they're not inalienable because the government pinky swore to leave them alone. They're inalienable because the people are explicitly responsible for maintaining that.

Some generations get to eat the cake, some have to make it, and we're all about to get a baking lesson whether we want to or not, it ain't gonna be a choice.

Ok NRA, so they’re saying we don’t have 2nd amendment rights anymore. You’re gonna pull all that right wing funding now, right?

Right?

He is betting "all in" that the Nazi party will remain in power. If they are deposed, he faces life in prison or potentially the death penalty.

[-] buddascrayon@lemmy.world 36 points 2 weeks ago

No, he doesn't. The democrats will never do anything about this.

Disarming then shooting a man who's weapon was holstered would lead me to believe that the "officers" are not the victim.

Bovine doesn't wear as much protection as others. Just saying. Wouldn't be too hard.

Vote for trump everyone they said. He wont take your guns they said. I wonder do any of these 2A assholes understand how they have been played.

[-] lka1988@sh.itjust.works 17 points 2 weeks ago

They don't care. The 2A assholes are being outed largely as nothing more than racists and homophobes looking for a reason to kill people they don't like.

These rights are what the nation has been founded on. Bovino is a traitor, and the 2nd Amendment should be used accordingly.

[-] kn0wmad1c@programming.dev 18 points 2 weeks ago

Bovine probably cried when Rittenhouse was arrested, saying he did nothing wrong.

What's interesting here is it sounds to me like they're gearing up for justification to go after legal gun owners. Fascists like a disarmed populace after all.

Sir, would you like to come down to Texas and try out that argument? I think it's possible you'll encounter at least a few folks who might disagree.

[-] BigMacHole@sopuli.xyz 12 points 2 weeks ago

Those rights ONLY Count if you're MURDERING CHILDREN!

"Bovino" means little cow. Emphasis on "little".

Man, for the bootlickers this is always been they're very favorite issue and the most important thing in their lives.

Turns out you only get the rights if you are a boot licker in the first place.
