Ring footage shows an agent pulling his gun on her, after which he shoves her down multiple times, pushes her back into house & slams the door.

All because she was asking for proof of a warrant. They refused to even give their names & badge numbers.

No botanicals involved.
You are either completely misunderstanding or intentionally misconstruing like half of what i'm saying.
DESPITE your great plan of arming every waking being, and many guns in civillian hands, nobody is keen on starting a civil war - as is evident by the lack of any shootouts of the great armed population against ICE.

If i really have to spell out the specific implications and meanings of anything I write, so you don't move goalposts every other comment, i'd rather withdraw from this utterly pointless exercise.

Which you clearly missed half of what I've pointed out. The left isnt armed and the right who is, are the ones mostly causing this shit. The fuck are you on about. So pointless arguing with some of you euro kids, you have no clue what's going on over here.

so you're hell bent on the claim that no meaningful amount of left leaning people in the US possess guns and that's the root of the problem.
do you have numbers on that or is it more of a vibe fact.

I literally posted this already.

About 20% of the left is armed. Compared to 50+% of the right.

  1. i don't scour your post history for sources, i look at the stuff you send me. Pro tip, the username specifies individual people on this platform
  2. 45% of Republicans and GOP-leaning independents is not 50+
  3. Dems and dem leaning people are not "the left". fun fact, dems aren't even center left. they're center right.

what stats are you reading man? rounding 45 to 50+? or am i missing some specific other line that you're adding to the numbers?

regardless, none of the above are shooting anyone but fellow civilians.

The multiple users I'm replying to can get muddy, my bad.

  1. 45% of Republicans and GOP-leaning independents is not 50+

You are correct, I think it was from the right leaning side of men that own firearms. The reality is the left is heavily outgunned..

  1. Dems and dem leaning people are not "the left". fun fact, dems aren't even center left. they're center right.

They are the largest group, and like it or not, compared to what the right wing has turned into are the left.

regardless, none of the above are shooting anyone but fellow civilians.

That wasn't the point of my posts.
