I've never owned or wanted a gun, and I am a white, native born American citizen, but I am sorry to say that the terrorism of ICE has made me consider getting a gun. ICE wants violence, and they will find a way. This coward didn't want to wait.

I can't say I blame you!My country is,so far,luckier than yours in its leaning toward such fascism.If our UK government starts acting with the authoritarian moves that yours currently does,I will be worried.Should Farage go further,who knows?But the prevalence of weapons makes US particularly scary

Your country is a lot closer to fascism than you think. Consider that your government is criminalizing solidarity with Palestine. That's pretty unabashedly evil.

NO! My country is not close to fascism. My country has already fallen into fascism. The administration is racing to tear every institution we have to shreds before the executive they are propping up completely decays to dust in front of us. The White Christian Nationalists are eager to take over.

Yes it is,& yes it is! I voted Labour,was hugely hopeful,then very quickly less so,I've since cancelled my membership of the Party.I've been more than disappointed in their governance,now I'm disgusted & worried.I support Palestine & don't begin to understand their continuing support of Israel.🤬😢💔

Native US citizen here. I hate guns. I loathe the NRA. I will *never* own a gun. The NRA once sent me a survey and I gave them a piece of my mind and told them never to send me anything else. They could not care less about children dying in mass shootings. They probably love it.

People power is the only weapon that can defeat ICE but the sad reality is that large swathes of the population is in agreement with the current regime, and too many of those who oppose it are too lazy to simply get out to vote.

I feel like this reason is the only justifiable reason to own a gun. I would never think of owning a gun, but I was in the US right now, no question I would need one, your government has given me trust issues.

Ice wants violence too. It will be their excuse to become more violent.

You're better than ICE. You don't need a gun to fight these animals. People's power is stronger. Look at the cities that gather and chase ice out.

It's wonderful to see but also scary.ICE & their co- branches are just itching to shoot the protestors,soon one of them will,& as soon as Trump pardons them,it'll be literal civil war.That's what they're waiting for,permission,the excuse to open fire on the crowds they see as "Other"! I foresee it!

Fight them by protesting calmly but with many people and cameras. It has been proven many times in many countries that people's power is extreme. As you should appreciate, the camera never lies. Look at the lies Trump told, and he denied

Right? He is ripping into the military with a chainsaw. Replacing those he removes with..."loyalists"?? He is hiring for his 10k fed agent force to quote "Carry out Presidents Trumps agenda". His cult would kill Americans if they thought he wanted it... Isnt this what the #2A is all about?
