Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. 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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
This is good. But remember, it'll take months of practice and carrying to feel comfortable with a firearm. Not expert, maybe not even very good, but only sufficiently competent.
Start now if you think you might need to pull the trigger in a year.
Yeah, that doesn't seem to be a concern for Meal Team Six or Gravy Seals ICE is deploying to the streets.
They don't like us using the first, they trample on the fourth, they really aint gonna like the 2nd
They like the 5th a lot.
If you are going to carry, please for the love, get training. And at this point I'd say avoid the Sig P320 entirely. There's a non-zero chance that dude got clapped partially because his CCW piece discharged while the cop was carrying it away, and the other guys overreacted to hearing a shot.
If anyone here is thinking about arming themselves and feel a bit overwhelmed feel free to pm me for recommendations.
I am one of these people! I actually just did my permit qualification at the gun range listed in the article - stock & barrel. Submitted my application yesterday morning. Now I wait up to 30 days to get the permit. Then I'm thinking of buying a Glock or Shadow systems Glock-style pistol. 🔫
The ICE goons could use some firearms instruction
Good. Remember when you see ICE, get out your ICE scraper, and scrape it off. Wear a mask. Don’t film it. Flee. Burn your clothes.
All that work to get ICE off your windshield will pay off when you’re ICE free.
So instead of scaring citizens into complying, it inspired them to become MORE armed.
I've been saying it from the beginning: Ultimately, MAGA will be brought down by their own virtuosic incompetence.
I'm not saying that people shouldn't do this, but it's exactly what Trump wants people to do.
He wants everybody to be armed so that the odds of someone killing an ICE agent go up. Trump believes conflict between the government and citizens will allow him to use the Insurrection Act to mobilize the military against us, and then as he continues to escalate violence, he believes that he'll be justified in canceling our elections moving forward.
People need to keep this in mind as they decide how to act going forward. It is practical to arm yourself, but you should go out of your way to avoid using a weapon.
This entire thread is just going to net more accidental gun shots.
