    I remember being told the second amendment was necessary for Americans to defend themselves from a tyrannical government.

    “That could never happen here” they said about government brutality in other countries.

    Now kids have to fear mass shooters in school and fascist shooters in parking lots.

      Who would have thought all the “don’t tread on me” posturing, was actually “come on my back, daddy” sensibility.

      You were lied to by the gun lobby. The second amendment people are clearly on the side of ICE. Guns work as an oppressive force to prevent people from stopping ICE, not the other way around.
