We, as US citizens need to protect each other from these Nazis!

This is LITERALLY what the second amendment is for

Apparently it's illegal to open carry in that state. No wonder ICE goes there. Come to Oklahoma were we have the right to walk the streets with an AR 15, bet fuckers won't be killing us in the streets. Fucking cowards. If Waltz wasn't Fucking coward he pass an EO authorizing people of Minnesota to do the same.

Look at you ragebaiting with shit for facts:

Brian O’Hara, the chief of the Minneapolis Police Department, said that Mr. Pretti was an American citizen with no criminal record, and that he had a valid firearms permit. Under Minnesota law, citizens can legally carry a handgun in public, without concealment, if they have a permit.

Look at all your Walz hate, when he's actually standing firm and doing what I'd expect a good governor to do. I'm guessing you don't know about the voter lists, being uninterested in the fights people actually are winning.

There's zero reason for ICE to come to Oklahoma, since you're already on your knees to Trump. He's only sending his goons to those who are actually resisting him.

To be fair, laws are done. Especially in the twin cities.

Did you see the way they cowered when one of their own opened fire? They'd straight up leave if even a couple hundred open carried.

Have you ever seen 10 people speeding on a highway together and get pulled over? No, you haven't, and a hundred fuckers with guns don't answer to anyone.

Gun control is a whole can of worms, there's places where it works, there's place where it doesn't, there's different kinds of cities and also rural area and just... eh this isn't really the angle you should engage this topic from imo, even if I agree we should self-defensively arming leftists in general.
