This reminds me of an interaction I had here the other day. There was an article about ICE kidnappings in San Francisco and someone asked why the armed gangs weren’t doing battle with ICE. There are no roving armed gangs in San Francisco, despite what shitty right wing media fantasies claim.
I guess the question is more in the line of "wasn't the 2nd amendment exactly for this precise situation?"
No, they would have said that if they meant that. I cannot overemphasize just how many Americans truly, actually believe that there are just bands of colored men with rifles walking around in the city streets.
My bad. Sometimes I forget that there is no physical limit of stupidity.
