Wes, I’m watching the video now and I’m stunned at the callous disregard for life and the rule of law. I am close in my family and friends with a number of LEO’s and I know that none of them would act in this manner. And for the administration to, again, quickly characterize this as domestic terrorism is an abomination. What needs to happen for our elected representatives to grow a spine and take action? They have plenty of time to subpoena the Clintons and to hold hearings to discredit Jack Smith, but little interest in protecting the public it seems.

We need to make it impossible for them to govern until such a time as the rule of law is restored to our country.

In addition to the NRA, can we agree that ICE has revealed what a joke our various militia movements are? For decades, these jerkoffs have told us that they are a bulwark against “government tyranny”. Well boys, here are the masked agents of Big Government killing citizens and ignoring the 4th Amendment.

Ignoring the 1st and 2nd amendment, also.

Thank you, Wes, for this post. I hope 2nd-amendment advocates and tyranny-fearing readers across the political spectrum join in condemning it. Too outraged today to say much more.

Sorry, but don't hold your breath. Too many 2nd-amendment advocates are hard-core Trump supporters,. They not only want to "own the libs," which I define as anyone who dares to criticize Trump, they also want to gun them down in the streets.

So sad that I think Steve is correct, but I hope Andrew is right and some Trump regime supporters turn away from and against this administration's illegal and unconstitutional acts. I think my take away is to talk to the ones I know and try to help another see the truth.

Laws have broken down because of Trump and his republican syncophants.

We tried to tell A2'ers that authoritarian governments do not allow their citizens to be armed. But they were sure we were wrong. This is the first step.

I've long held that the Second Trump Administration will cause gun control to come about, and I think it's already happening with the Dear Leader's declaration that only criminals have guns on the streets. Soon there will be Federal legislation to restrict it, and following that, restrictions on handguns, etc. The NRA will just roll over to it all.

Even worse is some video analysis I just watched, that the agent who removed Alex Pretti’s pistol, likely accidentally discharged it into the street. This was immediately followed by the volley of shots by the other agents. Further proof of their incompetence and violence.

Sorry, encouraging people to buy weapons is the wrong way to go. Confrontation will result in more deaths. The ICE thugs must be prosecuted and imprisoned for what they did. Ordinary citizens should not confront the thugs. Just stay away from them until the system starts working to stop them.

How's that system functioning so far?
