What a dystopia. If anything the situation in Minnesota should teach liberal Americans that they all need to arm themselves massively.

Yes, and remind me what happened to the liberal American that armed himself in Minnesota?

He attempted to be a hero by drawing on a federal officer.

> drawing on a federal officer

It is my understanding [0] that multiple videos show that Petti did not draw his gun.

Do you know of evidence to the contrary?

There is video evidence and many eyewitnesses that he did no such thing. If you need to lie to justify fascism, maybe you shouldn't be supporting fascism.

He possessed a weapon on his person in a state where that in completely legal, in a country whose constitution explicitly says he's allowed to own that weapon. There was not a single reason for him to be executed by federal agents.

He possessed his firearm while obstructing federal agents, while wrestling with federal agents on the ground.

He can legally attend a protest with his firearm, but once he engages in other crimes he is also carrying his firearm illegally.

He was not executed.

Objection! Assumes facts not in evidence.

> He attempted to be a hero by drawing on a federal officer.

Absolutely vile smear against a hard working VA nurse and stand up citizen.

There were zero attempts made by Alex Pretti to draw a weapon. He was being a hero by helping 2 women move away from the masked officers forcefully pushing them.

I actually appreciate it when fascists lie so brazenly - it makes it easier to ignore their nonsense, and also starkly demonstrates how little respect they have for truth.

He wasn't standing next to 25 other liberals who had armed themselves.

Ah, got it, 25 is the magic number that makes you bulletproof.

it is a number larger than the trigger happy opposition.

There would have to be a very long period of peace, first. Periods of government instability, as we have now, actually cause American citizens to want to reaffirm their rights, not relinquish them. And, the 2nd amendment represents something symbolically beyond its function: a unified collective will against tyranny, corruption, and evil.

"anyone who opposes the government must be stopped"

are you sure?

> Get grass roots support for it.

This must be satire. This will never, ever happen in the US. Guns are a religion here.

> Get grass roots support for it.

You know that line from the Mandalorian, "Weapons are part of my religion"?

That is true in the most literal possible sense for a large portion of Americans. And not all of them right-wing, either- if anything, the past 5 years have convinced many of my left-wing friends to get concealed weapons training and being carrying pistols.

At the moment, the most dangerous people with guns in US are the ones working for the federal government.
