No, that's illegal. But AFAIK in all states you can wait inside your door with a shotgun and blast anyone who breaks into your home illegally.
Better yet, you have the constitutional right to organize 30 or your neighbors to use guns to protect each other from marauding thugs.

Fight back! But consider:
- Why do they want direct violence with their thugs?
- Direct violence with ICE leads to direct violence with police, MAGA civi-thugs and military.
- Would MAGA base have the same violent and visceral reaction if violent events happened to wealthy folks whom they probably never heard of who live in disconnected realities from their own??? A thought tickles my mind that maybe they would not. Maybe it’s a pathway…

Turns out all you need is a Supreme Court majority on your side and you can wipe your ass with the Constitution.
Same as it's always been, they're just being more brazen about it

That's funny, because I say I can shoot someone for an armed unlawful entry. So either the law is on my side, or the laws are illegitimate and are irrelevant anyway. I guess we'll just have to disagree.
Nowhere in that article did it even imply that the Supreme Court would support warrantless entry into a person's home. In fact, it said that this policy contradicts many years of court precedent.
This is just more legal manipulation of the Constitution. Just have some psychopath MAGA traitor INVENT his own law, write it down (because he's one of the few that can), and all the rest of them can wink and agree that since it is written down, and called a MEMO, it is perfectly legal, and a reasonable basis for an entire predatory and parasitic paramilitary enforcement operation. It is NOT.
However, they will proceed as of it is, without tipping anyone off for as long as possible, and when it finally gets discovered, and challenged in court, they'll slowly drag it through the legal process, all the whole continuing to follow the policy as if it is a perfectly legal and reasonable policy that is just having a little regulatory snafu, as peoples' lives get systematically destroyed, along with all of America.
They won’t like that with a Constitutionalist.
They will absolutely come for the guns next. Once the population is disarmed the civil war will begin. Martial law. Police state. No privacy protections. All amendments abolished. Civil rights act abolished. Military checkpoints at all state borders. Reinstated draft. 10% inflation. 20% unemployment. Reeducation centers. Prison work camps. State takeover of media. Iron curtain. Restricted Internet.
This year. Get out while the borders are open.
Don't got the money for that. My best option is to fight, provided the people of my state are also willing to die for a better future.
Other than the black Panthers ain't nobody already with guns doing anything right now.
If you think they will take guns away from Americans in 2026 at any kind of scale you are very naive
Doesn't mean they won't try
