    One amateur vs a handful of prepared pros is gonna mean one dead armchair infantry.

    I support the effort to resist but think guns at the point of capture isn’t going to go like on TV.

      I’d rather die in a shoot out with ICE than go to a death camp. I don’t leave the house now without my concealed carry.

      I think the implication is that you’re going to die in El Salvador, so better to die at home and maybe take a few ICE thugs with you.

      “Don’t fight back, they’ll kill you” do you realize how insane that sounds when they’re deporting people to a death camp in another country also ruled by a dictator and you’ve been told repeatedly no one leaves that death camp. Ever.

      I will happily catch bullets taking some ICE thugs with me before I lie down and accept death in a concentration camp.

      I will also happily catch bullets taking some ICE thugs with me to protect someone nearby from being taken.

      Nobody posting memes like this is under any illusion that if they pull a gun, they are getting away with no repercussions. Bare minimum, you are now on the run for the rest of your life or until the remaining US population sees the light of day and organizes with us.

      Very cool, enjoy your stay in the gulag. Since that’s the alternative

              If I pull a gun when ICE thugs roll up on me, I am ABSOLUTELY not going to the gulag.

              I will be dead, having been shot 197 times by 3 people who shot 400 rounds each.

              But if I’m lucky, quick, and have drilled enough with my firearm, I’ll have taken at least one of them with me.

              The gun isn’t some magic forcefield, and nobody who posts or says things like this is under the illusion that it is.

              I’d rather die quickly with a small chance of taking out an oppressor than to die slowly in a concentration camp
