It reminds me of the one scene in Inglorious Bastards:

"You are sheltering enemies of the state, are you not?"

It's particularly cynically amusing when Trump and the Republicans apoarently go out of their way to grant themselves abuses of power directly reminiscent of the Nazis.

And still the people who most pride themselves on their patriotism line right up to cheer it on.

This is the era of the angry, stupid American. and their King Donald.

[–] WhatAmLemmy@lemmy.world 25 points 4 days ago (1 children)

This is the era of American fascism, which is identical to Hitlers nazism in every way that matters.

[–] Tinidril@midwest.social 12 points 4 days ago

It's kinda weird that when fascists took America they would be totally cucked to Israel. History gets weirder and weirder.

[–] theneverfox@pawb.social 66 points 4 days ago (3 children)

Yeah... No they fucking can't. And a lot of people (with guns) know that, and feel very strongly about that fact

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 22 points 4 days ago (1 children)

All these stories of plainclothes agents in unmarked vans and I'm just waiting for the article.

[–] 7U5K3N@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 3 days ago (1 children)

That's been my thought as well... It's only a matter of time before they come across an actual gang member or 2A enthusiast and someone catches some lead.

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 days ago

Exactly, I'm not saying I want it to happen, but maybe then they'd at least reconsider their methodology.

[–] jubilationtcornpone@sh.itjust.works 21 points 4 days ago (1 children)

If a bunch of people with weapons come breaking into my house then they'd better hope they can get to me faster than the 3 seconds it takes to open the gun safe or someone is going to get a face full of 00 buckshot.

[–] theneverfox@pawb.social 12 points 4 days ago

Well... You know, practice. If your first, second, or third shot is slow, you get got

Not to say you aren't practicing, just a friendly reminder

[–] jeena@piefed.jeena.net 54 points 4 days ago (5 children)

I wonder, if you're not harboring any immigrants and ICE is breaking open your door because they suspect you do, is it morally OK to start shooting to defend your home? How would you even know it's not a burglar?

[–] Grimy@lemmy.world 51 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

At this point, I think it's okay to start shooting even if you know it's ICE. Corrupt secret police that can't get a warrant fall into the home invasion category.

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 39 points 4 days ago

Then who's to say that a group of thieves just put on some gear wear a bunch of ICE logos on their shirt and break down your door, tell you you can't do anything about it and rob you blind?

There's a reason why there are complicated rules of law ... because if you remove the most basic laws, everyone can just start abusing them.

[–] Revan343@lemmy.ca 10 points 4 days ago

It's morally okay to start shooting either way

[–] Jimbabwe@lemmy.world 6 points 4 days ago

By their own logic, I think itsokaytoshootthem if you suspect they might break into your house.

[–] Mediocre_Bard@lemmy.world 24 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Okay then, now I'll be looking into getting those guns I've heard so much about.

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 9 points 3 days ago (1 children)

stay away from SIG. the P320 has misfire problems and is known to go off while holstered.

when SIG was forced to make a public response, they went full MAGA and blamed "the left" for creating conspiracies against them instead of addressing the actual problem.

Damn, thanks.

Sincerely, if you have questions and no local resource you’re comfortable with, hit me up.

[–] Frost752@crazypeople.online 13 points 3 days ago

ICE can also be shot, just saying.

Over my dead body if that's what it takes. We're about to house a young woman from Spain on a J-1 visa. They will not be stepping foot into my home to harass her.

[–] Nollij@sopuli.xyz 2 points 3 days ago

Your proposal is acceptable to them.

[–] jimjam5@lemmy.world 23 points 4 days ago

ICE gestapo playbook:

  1. hey look, I see someone that’s an “alien enemy”
  2. what due process?
  3. bag em
  4. rinse and repeat
[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 15 points 4 days ago

She can shove that memo up her cunt. Memo are not laws.

[–] aesthelete@lemmy.world 19 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Based on my memos you can shoot a dumb bitch that came in your house without a warrant straight in the face.

[–] nick@midwest.social 22 points 4 days ago

They can certainly try, Ohio has Ohio Self-Defense Law (Section 2903.04) and something tells me ice isn’t big on showing badges.

[–] prettybunnys@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 days ago

I woke up this morning thinking about going to the gym.

Now the exercise I’m looking into is my 2A.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 9 points 4 days ago

To paraphrase:

"Donald Trump has made his decision; now let him enforce it!"

Try it, cunts.

Cut out in half, and you’re left with 2.

Reading "Alien Enemy" so many times is really enforces the fact that we should revolt.

[–] LarryLurkman@lemm.ee 7 points 4 days ago

Colorado's 'Make My Day' law says otherwise.

[–] PenguinMage@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago

They enter without a warrant or even a no knock with one I'm pretty sure I'll put a bullet into one of em.

I actually thought about replacing it with SRA instead of just erasing it lol

[–] 7U5K3N@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 days ago

Man... I'm in a deep red state and my chapter just has 0 ability to answer any sort of contact attempt.

Hard to get organized when the organization doesn't give assistance.

Lol, NRA - "We are living in dark times, you must defend your family"

People rise up against the government with their corporate bought guns.

NRA - "Not like that!"

What a pathetic cult.
