Would protestors be safer? Thousands of masked people with guns. Chaos?
I can’t help but think that the only solution to ICE is a “well regulated militia” in combination with political reform, with both being necessary.

At the risk of dying themselves?
That only applies if they fight with equal weapons. In a violent conflict, a government might use armored vehicles, tear gas, drones etc. I don’t think the risk would be equal for both sides.
That’s also why I think that the second amendmend is pointless in today’s world. If it ever comes to a wider conflict between the general public and the government it’s not guns against guns. It’s guns against high-tech weapons.
They think they’re beyond consequences and “it can’t happen to me, I’m the main character!”
I doubt they’re worried about that. Protest implies that the gun is symbolic or defensive. ICE is there to shoot, and will shoot first.
If it turns into a gunfight, one side gets a gov pension when the smoke clears, and the other side gets prison if they live.
Fair but it’s hard to pin down who shot who if there are hundreds/thousands of shooters and all wearing masks.
I think the real issue would be having to deal with national guard.
bro they jumped and executed a person they don’t think about risks anymore
Legal repercussions are totally different than thousands of masked people with guns. They all know that the law is slow and easy to get around.
