Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

John Yoo's legacy.

"Them there folks" in the red run welfare states will use stand your ground. WTF, ICE should be renamed to Gestapo or NKVD.

So I really dislike having guns in the home since I have young children. At this point I'm willing to consider it. I don't have a room for a massive gun safe and nor do I know what gun to get for home defense. What resources are out there to help me find a starting point?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

What gun will provide home defense against an ICE SWAT team? Seems to me that a gun in this situation means someone you care about will get seriously injured or die. And/or go to jail for murder.

Makes me think investing in a Halon fire suppression system could be useful. Along with gas masks for everyone.

If you are uncertain what type of gun to get for home defense, id strongly recommend taking training courses before considering. They'll help you get comfortable with one that works for you and your use cases.

If you're in a city/state without resources, connect with those websites. You might be able to start your own chapter.

My second amendment rights say otherwise

ICE would get a face full of lead from my home

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

I'd love to see them try

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago

Today sounds like a great day for Congress to abolish ICE.

Anyone want to build an exploding house?

Im not American but if someone wants this idea id love to read about it some day

Edit: spelling

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 day ago

The fuck they can.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

At this rate, we will just become the purge, every day. 🤦‍♂️

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Well that'll be interesting in all of those stand your ground states.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

...except they out number you with gun, too

[–] [email protected] 51 points 1 day ago (1 children)

This is a blatant violation of the 4th amendment, and the cure for it is the 2nd amendment.

Americans are pussies, they won’t stand up violently against this

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

America is one of the most violent countries on Earth. The Tipping Point is coming. It will get very violent before its over.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

They're happy killing each other for no reason. They're wimps when it comes to standing up for their rights.

They won't do shit and the country is going to fall.

[–] [email protected] 54 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Just wanted to add that since ICE agents are just walking around doing shit without identifying themselves, anyone could walk into your house and rob/rape/murder you while claiming to be ICE if you resist.

Just want to make it clear that this opens up a whole lot of home invasions.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 day ago

Exactly! have no warrants and don't identify themselves; they don't even have a uniform or badges. I do not care who they say they are, anyone can say they are ICE to get into my home. Do we honestly believe that people are not going to do that? Like be real, this is a flashing beacon of hope to criminals.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

I wouldn't recommend it.

Waiting for the first story of a shootout.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 day ago

I already know which side I'm rooting for.
