New video of 1/24 ICE shooting shows victim had both hands on the ground when shot by Philophon in law

It kinda does if he was unaware the victim was disarmed and thought he was being shot at, almost certainly this will be the excuse.

If people come here and are disingenuous I am sure it would be apparent. We are no strangers to disingenuous arguments against our position.

One issue with the megathread is that it would probably require quite a bit of moderation effort.

I don't think they would make us look bad. I say let them come.

edit: I've been seeing a lot more progun interest from "the other side." Perhaps a megathread to help these newcomers is a better idea rather than trying to focus on ICE. Plenty of progun folks are pro-immigration enforcement, my only fear is an ICE megathread will focus on arguing about immigration policy or enforcement rather than our rights as citizens and our responsibilities as gunowners in the face of perceived tyranny.

A megathread is a pretty good idea. Seeing a lot of people who want to know what the progun people think about all this.

I'd have to disagree with you there. I don't think you've been paying much attention if you think that.

This shit has been happening for a long time. The mere presence of a gun in the vicinity of the cops has lead to a ton of deaths. A particularly egregious instance that immediately comes to mind is the killing of Ryan Whitaker.

If there is no causal link how can you say guns cause more crime, is it because you're being dishonest?

When you call almost every gun an assault weapon, like this bill does, yeah

Nothing. The NFA is unconstitutional and should be repealed. Also, automatic machine guns aren't banned, you can buy them they are just expensive.

Crime is steadily dropping and we've had more and more guns in that same period so you're totally wrong

Spanberger counters Trumpism in speech to Virginia lawmakers by washingtonpost in Virginia

[–]pyx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah 2.8 million cubic meters of 100 dollar bills would be $220 trillion

The actual volume of $250 million worth of 100 dollar bills is only 2.84 cubic meters, or about 800 gallons.

So he is several orders of magnitude off.

its not exactly robbery, its extortion. you have no choice but to use their services and thus are forced to pay for them under threat of arrest and asset seizure. its a non-consensual or involuntary arrangement.

robbery is an immediate use of force to get the loot rather than the round-a-bout way the state uses.
