Trump deploys Federal Troops due to LA ICE protests

[Flareon Voyager 379]

One of the most populous cities in the world and more than 100k people can’t come together to take on the military?… I find it interesting to see all the people I follow whom are in the armed services never talking about this stuff. Like hello?…

And libs will continue to cry about wanting to ban guns. My guy, the fascist MAGA nazis are in CONTROL of the enforcement branch of the government and they will not hesitate to lash out on anyone. Americans better start arming themselves to protect those who they care about (PoC, LGBTQ+ folks, etc)

And the libs are right; guns should be heavily regulated and bans should happen. 

At the end of the day, if citizens turn their arms to the government and the government sends in other weapons of war, citizens' guns aren't going to be able to stop anything.

I haven't even heard of looters or riots? Only protests?

Edit: okay I have now seen some videos of people throwing rocks/bricks into the car windows and a car burning. It seems like the administration is trying to instigate

In an ideal world the government should be afraid of its people and no guns should ever be used on civilians but we don't live in an ideal world do we? The fascist lunatics don't need an excuse to use them on "undesirables", so why should you give up the only thing to protect yourself? Look at how quickly Ronald Reagan's government in California (google Mulford Act) introduced gun control as soon as the Black Panthers got their hands on some weapons to protect black folks.

Thank god i don't live in the shithole known as America and we have zero gun violence.

I'mma need some of yall people who truly care about protecting minorities to get woke real quick.

Ummm...so I'm in LA and Trump STILL hasn't sent any national guard...was he just bluffing?

K well it sounds like we're generally on the same side of things and you're an outsider commentating on a crisis I'm actively in so there isn't much of a point getting into a debate about this 💜

Yeah 2A believers seem to forget that while they may have a single automatic rifle they can fire.

The government has drones. Like they dont even need to be in the same state as you to kill you if you start acting up.

They're most likely refusing or slow walking the order so they don't have to show up

I'd hold off on a US trip until things cool off tbh

Obviously your decision but things aren't great here rn and it will probably get more dicey before it gets better.

No need to cancel. This won't last longer than a few days.

You'll get detained at the border just for asking this question
